From the Dev:
"Aban Hawkins & the 1000 SPIKES" is an 8-bit retro style Hardest Extremest Craziest Platform Action Puzzle Adventure. Simple & intuitive rules. Elaborate level design. Various fierce traps, traps, traps! Return to the Golden Years of Video Game. No one can BEAT this game...except YOU!! "
Lately I have fallen in love with the indie games on Xbox Live. I had so much fun with this one I thought I would spread the word on how great it is. Finally was able to beat it last night without any level skips. I felt great after conquering the final boss. Such a great sense of accomplishment.
Aban Hawkins is the second game from the indie dev 8Bits Fanatics. It is a sadistic retro platformer. You start the game out with 1000 lives and you are going to need all of them.
The level design is great. The graphics are 8 bit retro bliss. The controls are tight. The deaths are plentiful. All in all, the game is GREAT!
There are 4 worlds with 5 stages each (6 if you count the treasure stages) and then a final boss. Took me about 3-4 hours to beat this one on my first runthru.
If you grew up in the NES era of gaming then you owe it to yourself to pick up this gem.
Like the title says... 80 MSP ($1)! Support the devs and pick this one up... I can't wait to see what these guys come up with next.

Let me know if any of you guys are having as much fun with this one as I am
8Bits Fanatics first game "Tempura of the Dead" is a little pricier at 240 MSP ($3), but definitely worth the purchase for retro fans. If killing zombies and juggling their heads sounds fun to you... Check it out!
