Joanna Mueller writes: "Metroidvania-style games aren’t usually noted for their deep and expansive storytelling. That’s not a dig at the genre, this style of gameplay favors fast-paced exploration, not meandering plot points. Still, for those of us who appreciate a deep narrative, the format can be a little off-putting. Lunar Ray Games is challenging this perception with their upcoming 2D pixelated Metroidvania-esque platformer, Timespinner."

Neil writes: "It originally started off as a student project, before making it big as a crowdfunded indie title on PC, Mac, Linux, PS4 and PS Vita. Now though Lunar Ray Games are pushing Timespinner out once more, with a launch on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch."
Ooh I was going to get this for PS4, but if it's on Xbox One then I'd rather get the achievements!
Jeez, talk about a game that seems to be taking forever.
