ZTGD | 1001 Spikes Review

Ken McKown writes: Hey look, it is another pixelated platformer that wants me to die over and over again. The current trend of recreating the glory days of difficulty from the 8 and 16-bit days (along with the visual aesthetic) has become more commonplace than military shooters. It seems each week we are served yet another extremely punishing experience at a bite-sized price. 1001 Spikes is certainly not a stranger to difficulty. I died. I died hundreds of times in the first hour, and regardless of how much I played, I still died. This game is hard but never unfair, and to my surprise, it kept me coming back for more death.
