Gameplay, ost and visual art, all great. This was enough to make me love the game. The plot of the story, as people are complaining a lot, is not that bad. Only the background of the characters is too forced to be Woke/Progressive stuff. There is no Heterosexuality in the game. All characters are either bi, homo and/or trans. I mean, it's nice to have inclusions, but...it just feels like the person who wrote the characters' bg is heterophobic. 😅
But yeah. More than recommend this game for everything else it has. I'm still waiting for the sequel. I just hope the sequel will have a bit more mature writing of characters.

This game is an absolute gem. While it is a Metroidvania type game, it holds its charm. Thankfully I haven't had any issues with getting items and most of the game is pretty straight forward. Once again I think that this is an amazing game and look forward to playing Timespinner 2 when I get it, if it's as good as this

Are you really going to force me to NG+ this boring-azz game to get achievements and play long enough to get my Trading Card drops? I'm kinda being sarcastic but not.
Ok, this game is a decent pass-time. Its easy heck, zero challenge of [i]any kind[/i]. Lots of wandering around, teleporting, button-mashing through dialogue that won't seem to end. Fights are so easy there's no point to even playing the meta-game of gathering weapons and what-have-you for special powers.
It's nice though. A few little 'puzzles' and some secret areas and items. It rewards exploration vs. repetition and fighting.
So all in all it was fun, but pretty... idk... dull. But yet somehow enjoyable and stress-free to play that I did want to finish it. I know there were areas of the map I didn't bother with, because by the 5 hour point I was mentally done with it all. I'm idling for my TCs but there's about 6 hours here for most people.

Despite the graphics, music, art design and vibes this is an astonishingly bad game. It's almost impressive how bad it is. If you decided to copy everything from SOTN including transition rooms (in 2020s where nobody have cd-rom lol, do you even understand why where there in the first place?), why for the love of the gods did you copy anything but gameplay.

Timespinner is the kind of game that makes you realize just how many hidden gems there are on Steam that you’ve never heard of. It’s a brilliant metroidvania that perfectly blends nostalgic pixel art with extremely satisfying combat.
The orb/weapon system is incredibly versatile, allowing you to tailor your playstyle and experiment with different loadouts to find the best way to tackle enemies and bosses.
If you’re a fan of metroidvanias, this is definitely one to check out. You might just find yourself wondering how you missed it in the first place.
Can't wait to play the sequel set to be released later this year.

This is a fun little gem of a game. The presentation is fantastic across the board, with the music standing out especially.
Controls are responsive, the platforming feels good, and the bosses are pretty solid too.
Exploration is encouraged and rewarded, and if you are crafty, you can reach some areas/treasures early.
Definitely a solid recommendation for anyone looking for a game reminiscent of the Iga styled castlevanias specifically.

I initially held off on purchasing this game as I wasn't a fan of the time-stopping. However, this was implemented very well in the game. This is a very good Metroidvania game with a somewhat convoluted (and mature) storyline. This game also has a lot of diversity. Highly recommended!
