A mediocre metroidvania. The story tried its hardest to be interesting, but at the time of writing this I finished the game like two minutes ago and I don't really remember much of it. Music is generic chiptunes which I definitely don't remember at all, the pixel art is great but the colors are just a boring mix of brown and purple, and the combat is kind of interesting, but bland. The game's most distinguishing feature is using the titular Timespinner to stop time, but its actually possible to finish the game without using it once, so its just a gimmick that isn't used to its full potential. Overall, I don't think this game is very good

The Good:
-Fantastic music
-Pretty pixel art
-Mostly well-written

The Ok:
-Doesn’t innovate at all
-Weirdly horny

The Bad:

-Not much, unless you dislike its short length

Conclusion:
Timespinner isn’t really close to the best metroidvanias I’ve ever played, but it is still really solid. To start, the presentation is really great, especially the music. It’s almost weird how great the music is, like there are some seriously beautiful tracks here. The game also looks great, although some character models do look a little strange. Gameplay-wise it’s nothing new, although it is fun. The combat is pretty basic, but it gets the job done. The exploration is also nothing new, but it works. The plot is actually more in-depth than most other platformers, I mean it’s got a whole war between two groups, and the conflict is actually interesting. The characters are also interesting, although I do wish we could’ve known them a little better. One weird thing I noticed was that this is definitely the most horny 2D game I’ve ever played. That isn’t really a negative, but a few cutscenes caught me off guard. A good point of reference here is Symphony of the Night. If you played that game and liked it, I guarantee you’ll like this. The map system is the same, the menus are similar, some plot points are the same, even some of the room layouts are copies. Timespinner doesn’t really improve on SotN, but it does offer a less-dated version of pretty much a similar experience. Also, one last thing is that it definitely underutilized its time-stopping mechanic. It’s fun, but you could easily construct the game without it. In short, I did really enjoy this one. It doesn’t offer anything extraordinary (aside from the music), but this is still a clear recommendation to metroidvania fans.

The game has its strong points.
The mechanics reminds me Order of Ecclesia,
has not too much to explain about.
I started in Nightmare mode, where the difficulty makes the game better, I played later in normal mode and is too easy. A tip: Use the code to play in Nightmare mode, you will get a better game experience.
The sound looks great and fits on the game dark ambience.

É um joguinho simples, mas muito bom, gosto da interação que tem com o passado e o futuro e também acho irado a progressão do jogo, que é normal o backtracking

Não posso dizer o mesmo do level design, o mapa é muito linear infelizmente, mas é perdoavel. O jogo é bem simples, e isso é bom. Acho que a coisa mais notavel dele é a trilha sonora, oh bagulho delicioso cara, vou com toda certeza ouvir por fora do jogo.

Outra coisa que admiro muito no jogo é o New Game +, é um jogo tão divertido que o New Game + é um jeito irado de rejogar, com os mesmos itens, e com uma dificuldade mais dificil, é interessante pacas.

Enfim, recomendo pra quem gosta de metroidvanias simples, lineares e curtos, mas se quer algo mais grandioso ou realmente NOVO, passe longe desse aqui

Es como un Colacao con una sola cucharadita. No es un vaso de leche, pero tampoco llega a tener un sabor tan distinto.

Pros:
- Tiene una duración muy ajustada, lo que ayudar a no resultar cansino.
- Los orbes de ataques son muy variados entre ellos, permitiendo estilos de combates bastante originales.
- Tiene una tremenda esencia a Symphony of the Night, aunque no tengo claro si esto es un pro o un contra, ya que carece por completo de la personalidad de este.

Contras:
- Los escenarios carecen en su mayoría de personalidad. Bastante planos y repetitivos.
- El plataformeo, sin ser malo, no termina de ser preciso.
- Los bosses son un poco meh.

A Metroidvania that started pretty strong but finished weak. I guess this is my second exposure to the Igavania sub-genre (after Bloodstained: RotN), and I clearly I do enjoy the genre. This game started off with pretty solid progression, good if basic MV map design, and really solid but nothing special presentation. But honestly the story was really weird but too hard to follow. It was trying to be like a JRPG story but crammed into a <10 hr game which resulted in me not caring about the story and almost completely losing interest by the end

This game was my first metroidvania that I finished and I had good time. It's like what if Castlevania Symphony of the Night (which I need to finish) was about a time traveling psychic on another planet, with fun powers, actual time travel affecting the story, multiple endings, characters that are more fleshed out than I was expecting after first meeting them.

Some of the platforming was more percise than it needed to be, and there is often a fair bit of backtracking. But I loved exploring and finding out how far this path goes only to discover it was like 3 dungeons long, haha. Anyway fun game and it isn't very long.

There is a lot to like in this game. I would say that even if Metroidvania style games aren't your jam, there's probably enough good platforming and clever concepts to keep you entertained through the story. The story isn't half bad, if not just a tad cliche but at this point which story isn't? It tries a little too hard at some points, like the point in the game where we seemingly needed to turn the side quests into a platform to explore all of the NPC's sexuality. This in particular came across as extremely forced although I can respect tackling relevant and current social matters in the medium. Overall the short jaunt traveling back and forth among the map between past and present was enjoyable and this is a great start for the team involved. I'm interested to see what they can accomplish with greater resources.

Fruto de Kickstarter e com a premissa de trabalhar a fórmula de metroidvania tornada popular com SOTN, TimeSpinner traz uma mistura que inclui controle e viagem no tempo, orbes que substituem as armas, e anéis e colares que adicionam magias conjuradas e passivos. Lembra o sistema de Order of Ecclesia.

O maior diferencial tá em seu roteiro e representatividade, além do discurso progressista presente no texto, além da ambientação e direção de arte, claro.

A trama inclui uma guerra por poder e reflexões sobre a mesma, além de trazer a perspectiva de soldados perdidos, precisando de ajuda da protagonista.

Há tbm pinçadas de reflexões sobre família e se faz presente romance e drama, sem descambar pra algo muito exagerado ou tedioso, afinal trata-se de um título de ação.

O design inclui subquests de coleta e derrota de inimigos específicos, algo comum em RPGS e MMOs.

Além de opcionais, o objetivo deles é desenvolver mais os coadjuvantes, além de dar mais sobrevida ao jogo que que já conta com múltiplos finais.

Há também diversos níveis de dificuldades, conferindo acessibilidade ou desafio pra quem o desejar.

Un magnífico "metroidvania" indie.
Me atrapó con su historia y su apartado gráfico nada más empezar.
El sistema de combate me gustó muchísimo y también las diferentes habilidades que podíamos aprender.

Las conversaciones con el resto de personajes y la trama general del juego también son un punto a favor bastante importante.
