Spencer

About

Spencer is a side scrolling platformer that channels old school arcade energy with modern visuals. You run jump and blast through 2.5D levels filled with traps and foes while hunting for hidden items and currency. The controls feel tight and responsive making it easy to chain moves as you navigate increasingly complex stages. Each world introduces new hazards and power ups keeping the challenge fresh even as the formula stays familiar. The game's 3D art style gives it a distinct look without overwhelming the 2D gameplay loop. While it hasn't charted new territory for the genre fans of 80s inspired platformers might appreciate its straightforward approach. With a 2018 release date it's been through several system shifts but still holds up as a solid if unremarkable addition to the genre.
