1001 Spikes Critic Reviews
View All (18 total)1001 Spikes is nightmarishly tough but impossible to put down. It's a treat for retro fans and hardcore masochists.
1001 Spikes is one of the most difficult platformers out there, but finishing a level feels so much better when you overcome the challenge.
1001 Spikes will kill you, but it does so in a way that's both fair and fun.
This is a game that will have you thinking about how intense, perplexing, and perfect it was for days. Like a tiny mouse says early in the game -- "the harder the victory, the greater the joy of success".
