1001 Spikes is an incredibly difficult game to review be if you are reviewing it based on how it plays in terms of it's design. This game is incredibly crisp in design. But this game came out in a landscape of difficult indie game and is arguably the most difficult of it's age. it is a not only a precision platformer but one that does not allow you to stop. This may be a personal issue but with this experience, and the addition of two different jumps in combination with unexpected traps led me to actually run out of lives...in two runs. It took me so long to beat, that it was an inside joke of mine as the forever backlog #1 item (due to it's name in alphanumeric order being at the top). This game is sound, in control, and the deaths for the most part felt like my fault. The issue is, I have no idea who I'd recommend this to other than streamers looking for the hot new stream rage game. Because of this, I'm going to have to leave this at a 3 stars. If you liked a game like Super Meat Boy, this might be up your alley but might be too much. If you liked La Mulana? Same story. If you like beating your head against the same thing over and over again, then this is worth a shot
