About Avoid the Spikes
You guide a small character through a narrow corridor lined with deadly spikes, and the only way through is careful, constant movement.
It's the kind of game that looks simple for the first five seconds and then grabs you completely. Every wall is packed with spikes waiting for a moment of hesitation, so you're always adjusting, always reading what's coming next.

This is a pure arcade reflex test built around one clean idea, executed well. There's no story here, just you, the spikes, and your own reaction time.
There's no leveling system or map to unlock here, your progress is measured entirely in survival time and the score you post at the end of each run. Gems collected while dodging spikes go toward new skins, giving you a small but satisfying reason to keep pushing past your previous best.
The visuals stay clean and readable, which matters a lot in a game like this since you need to spot every spike instantly. The sound design is light and unobtrusive, staying out of the way so you can concentrate on timing your movements.
If you're after a quick, honest test of your reflexes with nothing to overthink, this one is worth a shot. Line up your first run and see how far your focus can take you.

Tips & tricks
- Stay near the center of the corridor whenever possible, it gives you room to react either way.
- Watch a little ahead of your character instead of staring right at it.
- Make small adjustments rather than big sudden moves, overcorrecting often causes crashes.
- Keep a steady rhythm, panicking tends to throw off your timing.
- Treat early gems as a bonus, not the goal, survival always comes first.
