Spinch

Spinch is a challenging platform game in which you play as Spinch, a hyper-agile organism searching for its missing offspring while an invasion of misshapen creatures spreads through a psychedelic world. You dash, dodge, climb, swim, jump and shoot your own babies as you make your way through six vibrant worlds and take on six bosses.

Explore and survive

The world is an ecology of luminous levels, multiple pathways and complex obstacles. You can collect items to gain an advantage while searching for your offspring, and encounter your cousin, who is babysitting some of your relatives.

The game uses a ticking clock and quick restarts, with no lives or game overs. Its old-school difficulty expects you to replay sections and master their timing and reflexes, offering a challenge for experienced speedrunners while remaining welcoming to players of all experience levels.

Art and sound

Canadian cartoonist Jesse Jacobs created the game's visual world, using precise, detailed line work and bold, simple color palettes. Its audio combines retro soundbites and electronic sounds, composed by James Kirkpatrick, also known as Thesis Sahib.
