Overview
Prepare yourself for a punishingly difficult yet strangely compelling 2D platformer experience with Spikes Are Dangerous. Developed and published by Not a Slime, this indie title throws players into the role of a small, gelatinous creature with a singular goal: reach the end of each treacherous level. The game's premise is simple, but its execution is anything but. Expect to die, a lot.
