Description

Enter into a world thick with bubbling psychedelia. Descend deep into a new ecology teeming with multiple pathways, luminous levels, and complex obstacles. Transcend the material realm and assume your true form as Spinch, a hyper-agile organism consumed by the quest to rescue its litter of missing offspring from an endless invasion of misshapen and malformed offbeats and oddities.

Bringing back old school difficulty, Spinch will have you replaying sections until you master your timing and reflexes. Dash, dodge, climb, swim, jump, and even shoot your own babies as you take on six enigmatic bosses in six vibrant worlds. Collect items to give you the upperhand while searching for your missing babies. Be on the lookout for your cousin - he's babysitting some of your relatives, but he's a little weird. With only a ticking clock and quick restarts - no lives or game overs - the game is welcoming to players of all experiences, but a formidable challenge to even the most capable of speedrunners.


The world of Spinch has been crafted and brought to life by talented award-winning Canadian cartoonist, Jesse Jacobs, known for his precise and detailed line work in combination with bold and simple color palettes. His works contain an affiliation with psychedelia, spirituality, alternate realities, and a blending of nature with technology. James Kirkpatrick, well known for his participation in the early Canadian graffiti movement and as avant-garde hip-hop artist, Thesis Sahib, created the audio landscape of retro soundbites and electronic sounds found within Spinch.


Feature List

• Retro-styled visual wonderland with a psychedelic color explosion by award-winning Canadian cartoonist, Jesse Jacobs
• A fine-tuned platformer with tight controls to dash, dodge, and jump off surfaces to survive against neon spiders, massive rainbow worms, and bomb-dropping moondogs
• Plunge into the psychedelia of unique worlds ranging from neon plains, to experimental tanks, to frozen icelands, all the way to outerspace!
• Face off against kaleidoscopic bosses and shoot them down with your babies as ammunition
• Inviting and replayable for everyone; a speedrunning challenge for the insane
• Soundtrack by famed Canadian artist, James Kirkpatrick, featuring compositions written on modified Gameboys and circuit-bent, hand-made instruments.

Fun platformer with cool graphics

This is a platformer with very simple controls - a button for jump and a button for dash. The graphics are great. It's like something from Adventure Time with its psychedelic images and vibrant colors. Cool music too. I've played through the first half of the game - it was fun and not overly taxing. I have read in some reviews that the second half becomes much more difficult, so be warned. It's quite obvious the game was made with speedrunning in mind. Whilst I enjoy watching speedrunning, I do not like partaking. It's too stressful for me. Thankfully, I can still enjoy this game as a basic platformer. There are items to collect on each level if you so wish. Dying does not end the game and merely brings you back to a check point where you can try again. My biggest negative with the game were the boss fights. Whilst they can be fairly fun, they are quite repetitive and somewhat lack imagination, with all the bosses very similar (at least on the first three levels). I played this with a wired DS4 and it worked fine. My Mad Catz TE2+ had issues though. Control binding also seems limited to jump and dash - I did not see an ability to change directions keys. TL;DR: If you like games such as Celeste and Super Meat Boy, and are a fan of Adventure Time, then this should be right up your street. Fun and well worth the 10 bucks.

Interesting art style, meh gameplay

The art style is interesting and fun. The music is probably good if you like that kind. However, the gameplay feels like an early 2000's flash game and kept reminding me of how many much better 2D platformers I have on my backlog. The penultimate world really bothered me, and the final one was just the straw that broke my will to finish the game. That combined with a mechanic wherein you can't replay levels, meaning if you decide to go for completion, you'd better do it in one shot, or start the entire game over. A resounding "Meh!" from here. The game isn't dross, but compared to all the other great things out there, there's nothing apart from the art style which makes this stand out either.

Cute, retro platformer

Spinch is a rather classic style platformer (it clearly delves a lot from mario), there is no deep lore but it features solid gameplay, and charming audio & visuals. Controls are simple - there is only jump & dash except for basic direction controls. Still wish that we could use mouse in menu (it's simply more convenient), also it lacks instant "restart from checkpoint" option in resume menu. Platforming is fluid and each level design is quite unique, however game itself is kinda short (it's up to you whether you see it as pro or con). I've encountered like one bug yet, not that bad tbh since the game just came out. I wouldn't say it's particularly difficult on it's own (I've finished only like 40% so far, can't really tell whether it will be more demanding later). If you die you will just go back to checkpoint (no other penalty), though those are not abundant and usually there will be a need in repeating a significant part of level in order to get to next one. If you are into platformers check it out, pricing seems fair but i would be really pleased if they added some wallpapers (i just really like them) and maybe soundtrack as additional goodies. NOTE FOR LINUX USERS: The game is platinum tier, working flawlessly with just out-of-the-box Wine so you don't have to be upset that there is no port (though i wish there was UwU).

Make Sure It Works on Your Computer…

...because it doesn’t work on mine. I’m able to run PS3 era console titles (Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, chief among them) - and even some PS4 era console titles - FLAWLESSLY on my machine, but for whatever weird reason, it’s NOT able to run this LO-SPEC indie game. I WOULD’VE found that out sooner, but obviously I EXPECTED it to RUN on my machine, so I didn’t bother to CHECK until the window for RETURNING it had already CLOSED. As such, I’d like to PROPOSE an AMENDMENT to GOG’s RETURN POLICY: So long as you can PROVE the game doesn’t work on your computer - and never did - you ought to be entitled to a return and refund even if you’re past the 30-day guarantee. When something like this happens, it makes me not want to buy anything, anymore. MAKE SURE TO TEST OUT YOUR PURCHASES RIGHT AFTER YOU BUY THEM!
