This was a pretty descent Metroidvania!
The abilities and weapons are well done but the Timestop mechanic loses its edge about 2 hours in.
The story is very lackluster and the gameplay isn't very hard. I played it simultaneously with a friend while listining to a podcast. So if you like playing without paying full attention, this is for you. We payed about 3 bucks for Timespinner.
For me it's 4 Stars because playing it with a friend was a very good time and we're excited to see what the second one has to offer once it's out.

Metroidvania muy justito. A ver que tal la secuela.
pretty solid little Metroidvania, the gameplay that takes cues from Order of Eclessia works well, gorgeous pixel-art graphics and good enough soundtrack, great exploration that feels rewarding and fun boss encounters, everything that an good Metroidvania needs is right here and fans of the genre will feel right at home.
it's a bit too short though, having played other Metroidvania games I finished this in 4 hours with most of the endings done without breaking much of an sweat, the story was decent enough but difficult to follow, lots of time travelling nothingburgers.
nonetheless an solid game, I am excited for the sequel now, hopefully it comes out this year.

A really visually nice & mechanically competent Metroidvania that started to sour on me with more annoying backtracking due to how the abilities worked (felt like it was always hard to clear a room with returning enemies) & with the central gimmick being utilized kind of awkwardly to the point where it felt like it could have been stripped out pretty much entirely. Decent enough, but I'm not sure if I'll revisit it or just play more tightly made similar games.
