Spinch

Feature List: • Retro-inspired visual landscape featuring a psychedelic explosion of color by award-winning Canadian cartoonist Jesse Jacobs • A precision-tuned platformer with tight controls to dash, evade, and bounce off surfaces to survive encounters with neon spiders, massive rainbow worms, and bomb-dropping moondogs • Dive into the psychedelic nature of distinct worlds ranging from neon plains and experimental containers to frozen wastelands and deep space • Battle kaleidoscopic bosses and use your babies as ammunition to defeat them • Welcoming and replayable for all; a hardcore speedrunning challenge for the daring • Soundtrack by renowned Canadian artist James Kirkpatrick, featuring tracks composed on modified Gameboys and circuit-bent, hand-made instruments. About the Game: Enter a world dense with swirling psychedelia. Explore a new ecology filled with branching paths, luminous stages, and complex obstacles. Transcend the material world and assume your true identity as Spinch, a hyper-agile organism obsessed with rescuing its litter of missing offspring from an endless invasion of grotesque and malformed oddities. Reviving classic difficulty, Spinch requires you to replay sections until you master your reflexes and timing. Dash, dodge, climb, swim, jump, and fire your babies as you confront six mysterious bosses across six vibrant worlds. Gather items to gain an edge while hunting for your lost brood. Look out for your cousin—he is babysitting some of your relatives, though he is a bit eccentric. With only a ticking timer and quick restarts—no lives or game overs—the game is accessible to players of all skills but a rigorous challenge for even the most expert speedrunners.
