## What is Temple of Spikes?

A full-featured, story-based hardcore platformer with 50+ hours of gameplay and a speedrunner mode.

In January 1980, a young and ambitious treasure hunter finds an ancient sanctuary hidden in the depths of an impassable jungle. 

While exploring the temple, he discovers untold riches and powerful ancient artifacts. However, getting out of the temple with the treasure turns out to be quite a challenge. 

The sanctuary is full of intricate deadly traps and its dark labyrinths abound in bloodthirsty beasts hunting for new souls.

Multiple skeletons scattered here and there are a sign that the temple had been visited before, but let no one out alive. The protagonist has no other options but to do everything he can to avoid the fate of his predecessors.

Our hero is accompanied by a mysterious grumpy ghost and an ancient stingy genie. These two unworldly creatures gradually reveal the details of the terrible events that unfolded at the Temple of Spikes centuries ago.

### 5/5 — Lovely Game

*2019-07-27, version 1.0.2*

Great history, amazing controls (they fix the buttons), and great power on graphics.

Keep making lovely games like this. 

The best thing the game actually have, is the control time power. Is amazing.

### 3/5 — Fix the right button

*2019-05-29, version 1.0.2*

The right movement button is broken while in areas where there are traps. This makes the level nearly impossible because half the time you can’t move to the right. I saw other reviews saying the game had problems with controls, but chose to ignore them. This was a big mistake, but while the game does have this issue, it is still fun and challenging. However, the issue with the right button takes a lot from the experience.

### 4/5 — Great game, still has bugs

*2019-03-09, version 1.0.2*

Great game, fast at times, challenge as well. Really enjoying. However it’s crashing on level 13. Pity can’t continue. Happy to give 5 stars, if the bugs are sorted out.

### 3/5 — Controllers don’t work

*2018-04-29, version 1.0.2*

I’ve been playing this game and I like it but the only problem is when I try to jump it takes 3 seconds for it to know that my finger is on it. And I am personally furious that I used 6 bucks for this game and the controls don’t work. I hope you can fix this problem and make it feel like it’s worth 6 bucks

### 2/5 — Why the horrible controls?

*2018-03-30, version 1.0.2*

It is so easy to implement touch controls for a platform game... movement buttons should be there ONLY to show that the options exist for movement, not to be actually required to be pressed for the action. The left side of the screen or a portion thereof should be strictly for move left or right.. instead you have to hit the dang button spot on for any interaction to take place... huge flaw.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2018-03-20, version 1.0.2*

Can’t even download it. My connection is fine and I have more than enough storage. My phone is also compatible

### 1/5 — This game blows your phone up

*2018-03-19, version 1.0.2*

I plays for 5 min and my phone turned into lava what the hell

### 1/5 — REFUND

*2018-03-03, version 1.0.2*

I can't believe this... I payed 6 dollars for this stupid game and the graphics won't load give me a refund now!

### 4/5 — Good, but touch controls are a little fickle

*2018-03-02, version 1.0.1*

Pros:
+The game is fun.
+Different Characters with unique abilities.
+Pixel graphics are nice.
+Touch Screen Controls are customizable.
+Levels are long and challenging.

Cons:
-The touch controls need a little tuning. I’ve had instances where the jump button didn’t respond.
-Rewinding time doesn’t always help. I’ve had instances where I’ve been put in impossible situations through rewinding. Mostly due to being in midair when I stop rewinding.

Suggestions:
>Make the controls a little more responsive.

### 1/5 — Great potential ruined by horrible controls

*2018-02-28, version 1.0.1*

This game has the potential to be an excellent action game if it were not for the absolute horrendous controls. I want so much to be able to enjoy this game, so much so that I keep coming back and trying only to be left in terrible agony. I have adjust the controls and buttons which do not seem to be the problem, switching directions, wall jumping, collision detection are the problems I have ran into so far. Very sloppy. Fix it and it’s sure to be one of my favorites.
