NE: "Spikey Walls is one dollar. There are definitely worse things to spend a buck on, even if this is a clone of a free game. Even so, this probably isn’t worth a purchase. It’s an improvement over the game it is aping purely because of the improved controls and how easy it is to brag on Miiverse, but it loses the charm that made the original such a hit. And there’s just the fact that it is yet another Flappy Bird knock-off. You might like Spikey Walls if you liked Flappy Bird. If you haven’t played another game like this, want to try one out, and desire to play a version with spot-on controls or a version that you can brag about on Miiverse, maybe pick it up. But it’s pretty unlikely that it will be worth even a dollar to many people.
Now, let’s all look forward to the many future Flappy Bird clones that will come to the eShop and groan together."
"Since the rise in popularity of mobile gaming, there have been many adaptations of console games reimagined for phones and tablets. On the other hand, Spikey Walls from developer RCMADIAX is a console game that shares game mechanics with the popular mobile game Flappy Bird."
Pure Nintendo: "I like RCMADIAX. I don’t like SPIKEY WALLS. The style isn’t a good fit for a home console like the Wii U, and it’s a poor game in its own right. One could argue it offers a few minutes of mild enjoyment at a very low price, but I can’t see myself returning to it – the quality just isn’t there. Spend 99 cents on Blok Drop U or Poker Dice Solitaire Future instead. SPIKEY WALLS is an ill-advised impulse, one that may ultimately backfire. Super Robo Mouse can’t come soon enough!"
The one man team of RCMADIAX has been hitting up the Wii U eShop frequently this past year, with budget titles like BLOK DROP U providing quick bursts of fun at a low price. The latest game to release is SPIKEY WALLS, a simplistic yet addicitng auto-scrolling platformer of sorts.
