DHGF: If you’re the type of gamer that thrives from overcoming cheap deaths and surprise traps, then 1001 Spikes might be for you. This retro stylized platformer challenges you with completing it in 1001 lives and then chips that total away using cleverly disguised spike traps and dart spitting statues that you didn’t even know were there. Still, overcoming its many perils is rewarding, and the many arcade modes that can be unlocked allow support for up to four players. There’s also an entire roster of characters to be found, many inspired from famous video games from the NES era. This game is worth 1001 recommendations, but only if you’re up to the challenge.
Nicalis announces both 1001 Spikes and Cave Story to round out Nintendo Switch's catalog... perhaps even hinting at UI features.
GamesBeat: "Cameos are everywhere in indie games. So why are developers in one of the most creatively fertile spaces in video games lifting characters from each other’s work?"
Dust: An Elysian Tail had like 10... did they have to pay out for that? :p .. I wanted to think that the developers/artosts knew each other and just wanted to help out.
MonsterVine: "We are already a month deep into 2015 but come take a look at what I thought were the best games of last year. 2014 had a lot of games delayed and pushed into 2015 but there were a still a lot of great games that deserve to get recognized."
