In Japan, where the 3DS and Wii U versions were ported and published by Pikii on November 25, 2015, followed by the PS4 and Vita versions on November 27, Famitsu gave them each a score of two eights, one nine, and one seven for a total of 32 out of 40. IGN favored the PC and PS4 versions' abundance of content and exhilarating disasters, while showing disappointment of the increasing repetition of the game as the levels advance. GameZone gave the game 8.5 out of 10. They praised the game for a large amount of levels, a bunch of unlockable characters, and a few multiplayer modes to play, but noted "tough" yet "immensely satisfying" gameplay.Splechta Mike June 25, 2014 https://www.gamezone.com/reviews/1001-spikes-review-get-rich-or-die-tryin/ 1001 Spikes Review: Get rich or die tryin' GameZone https://web.archive.org/web/20140629233330/http://www.gamezone.com/reviews/2014/06/25/1001-spikes-review-get-rich-or-die-tryin June 29, 2014 live May 5, 2023 Edge gave the 3DS version a score of six out of ten, saying that the craftsmanship is easy to control, but noted that the game can be difficult in several occasions.Edge staff 1001 Spikes (3DS) Edge Future plc 270 September 2014 117 References video games Category:2014 video games Category:Indie games Category:Linux games Category:MacOS games Category:Multiplayer and single-player video games Category:Nicalis games Category:Nintendo 3DS eShop games Category:Nintendo 3DS games Category:Pikii games Category:PlayStation 4 games Category:PlayStation Network games Category:PlayStation Vita games Category:Side-scrolling platformers Category:Video games developed in the United States Category:Wii U eShop games Category:Windows games Category:Xbox One games
