Dive into a tight‑control, fast‑paced platforming experience where every jump, dash, and wall‑slide counts. There Be Spikes challenges you with a series of uniquely designed levels that demand split‑second timing and razor‑sharp reflexes. As you blaze through each stage, you’ll unlock four versatile abilities—each one presenting new ways to overcome the increasingly demanding obstacles ahead.

Key Features

  • Minimalist Aesthetic & Fluid Controls – Clean, high‑contrast visuals keep the focus on movement, while responsive controls make every input feel immediate and satisfying.
  • Four Unlockable Player Abilities – Gain new abilities (double‑jump, wall‑jump, dash, and grapple) that let you master the toughest obstacles.
  • Optional Collectibles – Each level holds a secret item for completionists seeking an extra layer of challenge and bragging rights.
  • Speedrun & Hardcore Modes – After clearing all levels, speedrun and hardcore variations unlock, pushing you to perfect your runs under stricter conditions.
  • Leaderboard‑Style Stats Page – Track your progress with a dedicated stats screen that records the ten best attempts at both speedruns and hardcore runs, letting you compare and improve over time.
  • Controller‑First Design – Full controller support is built‑in, with the two most popular button schemas pre‑configured.
