This game is a great mix of Symphony of the Night and Mega Man X. If you like Metroidvanias at all, you'll enjoy this one. It has a deep story line too.

Fun comparatively short game. I'm pretty slow to beat most games, so 12 hours might be on the long side for most people. Good story, fun encounters, just an overall small game in the metroidvania genre.

Cute short metrovania story is kinda meh but the game loop is nice not platforming heavy slightly easy compared to the rest sadly ^hard^ difficulty is locked behind beating the game once thus the inflated hours cant wait to see what they will do with time spinners 2

The game has great potential, but it lacks a lot. I wish there was a neutral review option. I recommend this game mostly because of the good vibes it has. [+] The world is quite interesting. [+] Music is very good. [+] Visual design [+/-] Time stop mechanics. It looks promising at first, but in fact it is needed only a couple of times. [+/-] Orbs. The orb mechanic and their stats are not polished. Some orbs (especially lategame) are OP, others are not useful at all. [-] Fights are boring, at least at the normal difficulty. At midgame you can facetank most enemies spamming the attack button. [-] Level design. Corridors filled with same type monsters spawned evenly. Meh. [-] Only a couple of puzzles are decent. All the others are just "break the wall here". [-] Most quests are just fillers of a type "bring several pieces of some loot". [-] Leveling mechanics is too complex for such a short game.
