    At first this seems like a great game, but eventually the levels become poorly designed. Specifically, they are designs where if you get through the first part of the level and you get to the second part [yay! i did it!] at the wrong time in the second part's sequence, you die instantly. You have to predict the exact timing of the rest of the level, and that isn't fun. If you surviveAt first this seems like a great game, but eventually the levels become poorly designed.

You have to predict the exact timing of the rest of the level, and that isn't fun. If you survive the first part, you should have a chance at the second part, [it should be a "sure you could die instantly, but in an avoidable way" situation], this is just immature gratuitous game design… Expand

    1001 Spikes is far from a bad game, but a few too many spikes on each level leave it falling from grace.

    With deadly obstacles at every step, this is one game that never lets up. But fans of this type of punishment will enjoy the clever level designs and rage-inducing traps.

    1001 Spikes is one of the most difficult platformers out there, but finishing a level feels so much better when you overcome the challenge.
