Spin Doctor is a puzzle/action based 2D Adventure game, set within a Victorian world with steampunk elements. Spind has been coded in C# and compiled in Microsofts XNA engine. Players will take control of Harland Shears, following him on an adventure through a hellish maze of steam-powered puzzles and obstacles in a quest for freedom. The Game Ultimate Spin Doctor is an utterly addicting game that forces you to think fast as you maneuver your spinner around the field. Not only do you have to avoid obstacles and enemies but also, on higher levels, swing around walls, open doors, deal with bombs and oil slicks and avoid guns and bullets. Lipkin has since ported Spin Doctor, which was sold 'in a big box' for $40 when it was first released in 1994, to the iPhone. The game is a bit like chess in the sense that it is easy to learn.

Hi. Seeing all of the nice comments about Spin Doctor and Clockwerx and the fun times people have had with them really makes me feel great, because I'm the inventor of the game's concept and I designed all of the rack-puzzles. I did the artwork for Spin Doctor, also. (I'm an illustrator and designer who's always had an interest in game design.). Artists at Spectrum-Holobyte added some graphics to the Clockwerx version. I created it as a freelancer, working with my software developer friends at Callisto Corporation, near Boston, around 1992. I would love to hear from anyone who has any comments or questions about the game. (I can't tell you much about its technical programming, just the development process that I was involved in. My email is 'darrellart', followed by the @ sign, at gmail.com. (Don't want robo-spam.) Thanks again for all of the kind comments.
