I really like this game but it suffers from terrible control and lack of high score. It also gets hard fast, maybe it could increase in difficulty a little slower. THis game is really cool, fun, has great sound, but the control really kills it. Is anyone working on this to improve the control issues at least?

Nah, unless I'm *very* much mistaken. When it was released the guy who made it said he'd done so only as a techdemo, and that he almost certainly wouldn't update. Which is a pity, imo, but there we go....
 
I really love this excellent game & thus I've already directly asked one of the creator,MaDsk8tard , who unfortunatly confirm me totaly that this project won't see any update...

here is the quote of his answer :

"first, for arachno I'm just the gfxer and the coder is anata
but the pb is that anata will never code for gp32 because he has broken is gp...
the pb too is that Anata erased all the code of the game ...
so Arachno is died..."

so sad :(
but as Tobriand said "but there we go" ;)

It's funny that it was released as a tech demo. There's nothing great technically about the game that I can see. BUt it is a great game nonetheless.

He was mainly experimenting with the backgrounds - bearing in mind all those are generated in realtime. Possibly with displaying a sprite layer on top as well, seeing how much it slowed down the machine, etc. It was pretty impressive at the time it came out, I must say - though these days, I'll admit, we do have somewhat more impressive things. GPGuake springs to mind, and even Mr_Mirko's speedtester (which has a fairly nice and intensive anim, of course).
