Timespinner

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.

LOVED IT

It's a perfectly fine metroidvania.

Great metroidvania with fun twists and choices

A story-forward RPG platformer that wears its Igavania influence on its sleeves. You play as Lunais, the last of a clan of a time-traveling clan of mages who are being hunted by the evil empire, who must travel a thousand years into the past to stop the formation of the empire altogether. Along the way you'll get embroiled in plots from both time periods that gradually reveal a more complex landscape than just "evil empire bad" [spoiler](there are TWO evil empires)[/spoiler], and you'll help out a stranded group of (surprisingly queer) soldiers whom Lunais will bond with over time. If the notion of time travel gives you flashbacks to loop-and-paradox stories like Doctor Who and Homestuck, take solace in the fact that there are only two time periods to travel between, and there is little to no effects between the two outside of some cosmetic differences due to Lunais's interference. If you've every played a Castlevania game in the PS1-to-DS era, it's that. The main difference is that...

Plenty of mechanics reminiscent of some of the best old school games implemented very well. Story is better than I expected and mostly told thru in game notes

10/10 would Rando again

Je n'y ai pas beaucoup joué en raison des graphismes et de la DA très en dessous de pas mal de jeux similaires.

This game is a really enjoyable Metroidvania, everything is done right gameplay-wise, the level design is great, music and art are on point, my only gripe is how much of the plot is done through text dumps. The story is actually really good but just feels so distanced from what I'm playing as a game. Looking forward to the sequel where the polycule will hopefully kick some ass.
