spikes are very sharp objects and if you try to step on one you get hurt they are very painful too so if you step on lots every time then make sure to drink potions and eat cheese

to survive spikes you have to be agile so if you dont already know how to jump here ill tell you you press x or z and you can jump always jump and there is a lesser chance that you will step on spikes also if you see the spikes dont even tempt yourself just jump over them XD
