Spike - A Love Story lets you play a side scroller as a character no other sidescroller has ever featured as the main character. In this game you get to be a spike trap. Simple 1 button controls let you slam down your spikes to kill passers by. Anyone who's ever wanted to play the villain instead of the hero in a video game should give this game a look. It's an instant classic.
This game is about a spike trap. The spike trap loves the man who runs under him. By love him, I mean he loves to squish him. The man doesn't like this and tries everything he can think of to outsmart the spike trap and run past him. Running past him isn't enough though. As anyone who's ever played a sidescroller knows, you end up playing the same board more than once and could easily end up needing to past the same spike trap something like 25 times. Which is the number of tries the man gets in this game. If the trap lets him by too many times, despite his love for the man, he will be fired.
I really like the unique gameplay in this game. Spike manages to remain entertaining despite having very little player interaction. Playing this game is like watching a cartoon that you can interact with. I really enjoyed this one, and just had to play it more than a couple times. Good Luck!
