Blazing Games - Blazing Action Collection - 13^2 Spikes

13² Spikes

Thirteen rooms filled with 13 spikes

Last Updated: March 13, 2009

Overview

A simple arcade game (which is why it is part of the Blazing Action Collection) in which you have the task of saving a balloon or a pumpkin from a room filled with spikes. There are thirteen spikes in each of the 13 rooms and only one spike is positioned so that it is safe to place the balloon under it. This game was originally released on a Friday the 13th which is why the particular number of spikes and of rooms. While it is certainly not the most difficult game on the site, it does require that you react quickly and as the location of the safe spike is random, there is some thinking involved.

While the actual raised spike is random, the layout of the spikes is consistent. The article section of this page has a walk through consisting of screen shots for all of the games. Currently the game is closed source, but there is plans to release it as open source on a future friday the 13th.
