Gamers who claim that today's releases lack difficulty can rest easy. Instead of holding your hand, 1001 Spikes breaks each of its bones one by one. The masochistically difficult platformer is an improved version of 8Bits Fanatics' Xbox Live Indie title Aban Hawkins & the 1001 Spikes, and good God will it beat you down. The lovechild of Spelunky and a heroin overdose, 1001 Spikes will test the patience of even the most seasoned gamers. Thankfully, its mechanics put the blame for failure squarely on the player's shoulders, allowing those who undertake its journey to feel deeply satisfied upon completing a given stage.
The Nerd Stash: "While many have forgotten Sony's underappreciated handheld, we still hold it near and dear to our hearts. Here are the rarest PS Vita games you can buy right now.
Nicalis announces both 1001 Spikes and Cave Story to round out Nintendo Switch's catalog... perhaps even hinting at UI features.
GamesBeat: "Cameos are everywhere in indie games. So why are developers in one of the most creatively fertile spaces in video games lifting characters from each other’s work?"
Dust: An Elysian Tail had like 10... did they have to pay out for that? :p .. I wanted to think that the developers/artosts knew each other and just wanted to help out.
Wow, it's only a few minutes long if you complete it without dying? That's a bit worrisome...
LOL have you played the game yet Kilmer? Someone has beaten the whole in game in about 25 minutes( though I am convinced they aren't human) It's the hardest game I've EVER played. I am stuck on the Stage 5 levels. INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT.
