Description

About the Game



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.

after reading other reviews of glitched achievements and janky controlls, i thought you know what, its a small studio, people might be expecting too much from it, lets give it a shot! What a frustrating mess of a game

Difficulty: This is a hard game. Most of the time it is hard because it feels like you cannot control your character. Sometimes there are things off screen that you are supposed to time correctly but you can't because

Fun game at the first glance, but it turned out my first impressions were wrong. Yes, it is colorful. Yes it looks happy. But only looks. A good platformer must have good level design, but this game doesn't have any

Input delays create unnecessary frustration, transforming simple jumps into deadly challenges and draining the enjoyment from gameplay. The game's content feels shallow. After an hour, the increasing difficulty level

Maybe if it was free it would be more of a shout, but paying money for this game is just diabolical, down right horrendous. You could buy any other game... Literally most games would be more of a game / more enjoyable

I like the visual styling of the game, and the level design for the first few worlds is pretty good. It's fun up until world 4 which is almost entirely underwater based. The under water controls are extremely slow
