![]() ![]() The soundtrack works extremely well and its ambient feel can be relaxing, there isn’t a great deal more on offer here though. Where the game slightly suffers for me is in the control department, sometimes I got stuck and it was frustrating to turn around on the spot. That seems to be more a creative decision as opposed to a fault with the game. The first, competitive mode, pits you against a computer-controlled organism in a race against time to eat the most. The second removes the computer completely allowing you to almost aimlessly complete each objective. The game can be completed within a few hours so doesn’t ever outstay its welcome and I’m more than happy to keep replaying it. Overall I enjoyed Sparkle, it’s not offensive in any way. It is currently on sale in the eShop, at just over £1 there is no reason on earth why anyone wouldn’t give it a try.Sparkle 2 is a marble shooting, match three puzzle game brought to us by 10Tons. As is the company’s modus operandi, they’ve taken what could have been a simple clone of a wildly popular game and made it their own. #SPARKLE 2 GAMEPLAY WINDOWS#Īny fan of video games, from the most casual grandma clicking away on her windows XP machine to the most hardcore multisystem gamer will recognize the Zuma influence from the screenshots. However, the mere appearance and entrance in to the same subgenre of puzzle game is where the similarities end. Sparkle 2 is it’s own magnificent beast in many ways, and much of that has to do with what 10Tons has done to improve upon the basic premise of the subgenre itself. Present is the addictive game play, bright colors, beautiful environments, and soothing but wonderfully complex music (although that does get repetitive because there aren’t enough tracks in the playlist), but added on are a bunch of little fine tuned features that enhance the experience over all.Īs you play through the story mode, you unlock additional modes every couple of stages (called days, here). In addition, you unlock keys to allow entry past barriers that block your progress, and you earn experience points to upgrade your marble shooter with such enhancements as fast shooting, slowed down levels that make it easier to plan out your next chain, but make the game take longer, and one that adds another orb to your marble shooter. You can swap between the orbs displayed to best utilize which color you need to complete a chain of colored orbs. On top of all of this, there are also one time use powerup orbs that send out a ring of fire, blast out a ray of frost that destroys anything in its path, moves the orbs backwards, or changes all of the orbs it hits in a section to the same color. The game is fast paced, and the difficulty level increases quickly even on normal mode. There is also an appropriately named “nightmare difficulty” for maximum challenge. ![]()
