About 1001 Spikes

The son of a famous adventurer, Aban Hawkins must avoid an endless gauntlet of devious traps and dastardly hazards while exploring the Ukampa Ruins in South America. Sharp spikes, poison darts, falling blocks and flamethrowers are among the deadly obstacles that Aban will have to overcome in order to reach the Door of Poko-Mum and learn the truth about his missing father.

A throwback to the most challenging 8-bit platformers, 1001 Spikes requires intense concentration, constant memorization and flawless timing. You start the game with 1,001 lives, and you may end up losing every last one of them before you make it to the Golden Shrine!

ELO progression

This game does not take part in duels: its score never moves, so there is no history to plot.

Head-to-head

As this game is never offered in duels, it has no match-up to its name.
