Spike a Love Story
A downloadable game for Windows
Spike a Love Story puts you in the spikes of a lonely spike trap deep in the levels of a long forgotten video game. As its only contact was the rare visits of the game mascot, it has grown a deep attachment to that one source of stimulus, with only a singular means of expressing itself: CRUSHING THE MASCOT IN HIS TRACKS. A recent resurgence of interest in this ancient game has now given Spike what it's longed for: endless chances to demonstrate its love for the game mascot -- by VIOLENTLY SMOOSHING HIM.

so, is development continuing on this game?
The original release was completed in Unity, before I started developing exclusively with the Godot Engine. I have actually migrated graphics and basic gameplay to Godot, but put development on the wayside to focus on other projects. I feel the release available here is pretty feature complete, but I definitely would love to revisit the game in the future! It was one of my first popular Flash games back in the day, so I like to keep it kickin'.
Is the spike a woman, man, or genderless/non binary?
Spike is non binary, and identifies as a Spike Trap.
Stunningly difficult in all modes- nicely done.
Thank you for playing and commenting! Adding a bit more balance is in the plans. The 'Story Mode' needs to be separated into levels -- with some lore squished in there as well!
