1001 Spikes is a new retro-looking platformer that has co-op and versus play. We have rather a lot of retro platformers now, so what's different about 1001 Spikes?

Well the game has a massive amount of levels to keep you going. It will reward you with unlockable characters and in-game cutscenes to help tell the story. It looks like a well made game for a good price too.

About
Discover the lost treasures of Ukampa in South America as Aban Hawkins searches for his estranged father, world-famous archeaologist, Jim Hawkins. The elder Hawkins mysteriously disappeared while exploring the ruins. Before his disappearance, the elder Hawkins entrusted his daughter, Tina with a map to the location of the ruins but with a grave warning that death awaits around every corner.

Aban Hawkins races into the frozen tundra of the antarctic, undiscovered temple ruins and the vast caverns of South America in search of his father and the legendary treasure rumored to lie behind the Golden Door of Poko-Mum.

Always give love to hardcore platformers :D Local co-op will make this title immortal among Steam OS couch users!

Especially because we dont get Spelunky...

I think it's worth pointing out that this game is developed by Nicalis, the same developer behind Cave Story, a platformer that has reached practically legendary status among fans of independent game developers, especially owners of Game Park Holdings or OpenPandora handhelds.
