What is the best spike?

[mactuan12]

 The one that points left
The one that points right
The one that points up
The one that points down

[Bruce Michez]

Within the logic of VVVVVV's physics, it would be a tie between up and down: their piercing power would be reinforced by gravity.

what if vvvvvv had floating spikes like a spike that point all directions

left and right spikes! they actually have a larger hitbox (the full 8x8) whereas up and down spikes are only 8x4, so left and right spikes are more effective

yeah well maybe the up and down spikes being more forgiving is good!!! why do you like killing people so much, HUH?

the spikes in the bottom left of tiles1

they're harmless!

this is wrong. they actually have a smaller hitbox than vertical spikes, 8x2. it's centered on their tile
