pretty fun, very challenging but rewarding difficulty is high but the gameplay and controls are tight the design of the levels make very clear what danger is in front of you, so is very fair at giving you most if not all of the tools necessary to succeed.

Punishing game, but a lot of fun if you like a challenge. Great level design and controls are very responsive.

WARNING: YOU MIGHT NEED TO INSTALL OPENAL32 FOR THE GAME TO RUN (I did at the very least) Absolutely astounding. Easily some of the best level design ever made. Some precision/masocore platformers have a tendency to focus to much on memorization and not enough on execution, but 1001 Spikes strikes the balance perfectly. The first time you die to something you laugh at not expecting it. The 20th time you yell at yourself for knowing it was coming but still falling for it anyways. The game also is packed with side content that is pretty fun and a good amount of unlockable content. SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT Bruh what do you mean the temple is the first half of the game. SPOILERS ABOVE THIS POINT
