    The game is an excellent metroidvania. All the more frustrating, with all those crowdfunded scams roaming around, that at some point one has to ask 'Where is the rest of the game ?' What's the point upgrading the orbs to 999.. I mean everything is there. A SOTN lite, but everything is at the bare minimum.

I mean everything is there. A SOTN lite, but everything is at the bare minimum. A tiny map, some time travel, a good story, a handful of quests, a handful of secrets, a handful of equipment. A LOT of orbs (weapons) that can be grinded to insane damage for no reason. Gimme two or three passive slots then instead of one, it wouldve made the game more enjoyable for the same insane overpower. So anyway, in the end it's the same range of crowdfunded indie allplatforms scams, with the bare minimum promised. Except the game is good. Just 1/10 of what it should be to compete with sotn… Expand

    With quality platforming, you should definitely give this time-twisting adventure a spin. [Issue#336, p.71]

    It's plain to see I adored my time with Timespinner. Its little niggles couldn't prevent me from going back to New Game Plus, or even experimenting with the level cap mode or higher difficulties. I stopped everything for Timespinner and in return I was rewarded with tight gameplay, a rich, beautiful world and all the queer representation I've ever wanted.

    Timespinner is good callback to the 90s and games that inspired it. It has some solid combat, decent exploration, and a great soundtrack. The story and side quests are a bit dull, and the time mechanic never delivers on its potential, but it’s still an enjoyable adventure overall.
