Instant classic?
Disclaimer: I followed the development of the game for years, so I might be biased. Spindle has really become a great polished pixellated action adventure that would be best explained as an homage to the Zeldas of old, when 2d still ruled. But it's also a modern game with great effects that smoothly integrate without ruining the charme of the 2d pixel look. And it's not just looks. It's funny, the story is engaging. Without boring you with hours of setup you are directly thrown into the game and learn the story piece by piece. I've not yet played the game in full, but so far it's fun and engaging to tacle the bosses and look about the map for hidden treasure. And as if this wasn't enough there are additional sidequests or minigames that while definitely extra, feel like a part of the whole. Only time will tell if this will eventually be regarded a classic in its own right, but until then you may just wanna enjoy a 5 star game - if Zelda-likes tickle your fance, go for it!
