    This game had potential but it feels unfinished. There are a lot of bugs.
    Also, for a game with such neat visuals, the music is TERRIBLE. It is headache inducing and there is no way to mute it or turn it down. I can't play this game with the sound on.

    For $15 bucks, this game wants to be the next Celeste, but it falls WAY short. The story is non-existant, which is fine. You're a white blob called a spinch, that has to collect smaller versions of itself because they're your babies and are going to get eaten by.. colors?
    Also, you can redo the levels to get all the spinch babies multiple times, except the bonus levels, which are pass/fail and incredibly hard. Which sucks, because I'll never know what the bonus level reward is unless i delete my save file and restart the entire game. Stuff like that showcases the developers trying too hard to make a game people want to buy and not hard enough to make a game people want to PLAY once they've bought it.    … Expand

    It has great art direction, well-crafted early stages, and exciting boss battles. Sadly, all of this great work is upended by the introduction of these terrible water levels, and their inclusion makes Spinch just another retro platformer that misses the mark.

    Spinch is a quirky and vibrant 2D platformer that will delight and infuriate in equal measure. The soundtrack is invigorating and the gameplay demands a lot of the player with its punishing difficulty. The upside to this is that, finishing each level with your three babies comes with a sense of accomplishment that can’t be denied. If you’re a fan of this kind of game, Spinch is definitely one to consider.
