Abnormal Mapping 101: Timespinner

We’re joined this month by our friend Nora to talk about the
surprising and surprisingly forgotten Metroidvania Timespinner!
Join us as we talk about the embarrassing writing of indie games,
the gestures toward good ideas, and how fun it is to just be a
lord even if difficulty is very hard to get right.


Our guest this month was Nora Blake, who you can find at
@neithernora and on norablake.online
