Okay, let me summarize what we've got yet:

Include a small panel on the screen containing tower details (title, name of author, spiders available, goal, author's comment). User should be able to hide / minimize this to save screen space.
Use the small LED-symbol next to the "spider-buttons" to indicate the availability of each spider. Disable the buttons of non-existing spiders.
Make the control panel smaller. It obscures too much of the 3D view and looks too clumsy.
The control panel should not be transparent. It's better to have a smaller field of vision than to have parts of it obscured by control elements. (Of course that part of the 3D view that is now obscured by the panel must not be cut off! The 3D view must always contain the full image, only with other proportions.)
Use the middle mouse button (additional to the TAB key) to turn full screen / mouse movement mode on and off. It's annoying to be able to turn it on with a click on the small arrow button, but to have to reach for the keyboard to turn it off again.
Spider movement should be continuous when you keep the forward button or the up arrow key depressed. Why does the spider stop after one field?
