Such was (probably) the phrase etched above the drawing board for the impossibly difficult 1001 Spikes, a side-on platformer that features its namesake in abundance. However, they don't appear in a manner where all you're doing is avoiding static spike pits or ceiling-dangling death-dealers - instead they pulsate throughout some already tight corridors and passages, factoring in a rhythmic aspect to your adventure through the many dungeons and underground tombs you'll attempt to navigate without snapping the pad in half. Obviously there aren't any checkpoints, and the game will go out of its way to ask unbelievably precise things of you and your little adventurer Aban, but even taken at face-value there's not a single screenshot of this that looks remotely enjoyable to all but the most masochistic of players.
