Spyder is a third person puzzle game where you are a little spider-like robot, Spyder, sent by British intelligence on missions to stop the plans of SIN. In each mission you are this little guy maneuvering around the big people world doing tasks and keeping out of sight (actually in the missions there are no people that can see you).

In mission one you are in an underground bunker navigating around the central control area. Get to a box, open it, get a key, get into the computer innards, maneuver around without getting killed by moving parts, sabotage the computer. Mission two is on a bomber disarming a nuclear device and mission three is fixing a space capsule to bring the astronauts home (I've only done the first three missions).

Besides moving around you can interact with objects. A to press a button. A to interact and then rotate joystick to turn a knob or use a screwdriver (I use an XBox controller). A to grab an object and push it (or A again to throw it). A to harpoon an object and bring it to you. A to harpoon an anchor and zip yourself to it. As you might tell A button does a lot and the UI will show when you can press A to activate so you don't have to guess what you need to do. Also there is always an arrow with distance to show you where you need to go next so it's quite hard to get lost (which I think would be easy to do without the help).

The graphics are a little cartoony but good. The background music has a festive spy spirit. There is a handler who talks you via text messages (no voice acting here). The puzzles are fairly easy and the only hard part is maneuvering so I think this is a game for 10 and older (I'd say maybe a bit too hard for my 9-year old nephew but he's playing some Minecraft like game which is almost this complexity).

Overall I found it fun though a bit easy. Did have problems with motion sickness and about one level is all I can stand per couple of days.
