It’s the new-new way to die
1001 Spikesis one of my favorite gamesand I think you’d like it too if you gave it a try. At one point,I even joking-not-jokingly said it’s better thanGame of Thrones.Given how people turned on that show in its last season, I think a lot more folks may agree with me on that one now than they did before, but I digress.
Nicalis also seems to think that there’s an untapped audience for the game out there. WhileCave StoryandIsaacare by far their biggest sellers, they have never give up on1001 Spikes,prominently placing characters from the series in crossoverslikeCrystal Crisisand teasing new iterations of the game likethe long-awaitedSuper Exeditionon the regular. That’s why I’m only half-surprised thatthey’ve just shown off what looks like a mobile-friend infinite runner in the serieswith all new graphics and enemies. It also appears to play differently, with a double jump, a dash, and some sort of dive-ball move.
While I’m chomping at the bit to know more, I’m keeping my expectations in check.We first saw Ninjain 2015, but he didn’t show up as a playable character in anything until this year withCrystal Crisis, and I think it was in 2014 that I was first told off-the-record that1001 Spikeswould be getting new characters, stages and modes. That new content is still largely under wraps, but with E3 just around the corner, anything’s possible.
