WP App Review : Sparks


Sparks (Version 1.1)
ICE Software
Free

Sparks is a simple game where you guide a light orb through narrow passageways, collecting items and power-ups, lighting torches, and fighting enemies. Simple art-style accompanies the simple game play which is overall a solid experience. Nothing ground-breaking, but a fun game nonetheless.


Controls for the game are solid and easy to use, featuring an on-screen d-pad to the bottom left and a turbo button on the bottom right which acts as a boost as well as attack method. Your main goal is to navigate through the narrow corridors as you gather white triangle pieces which add smaller orbs of light to your main orb and gives you health. Along the way, you'll need to light up the small torches and fight balls of spikes by using the turbo button. 


Overall, Sparks is a simple and solid game, which plays well. Nothing too flashy but a generally entertaining game play experience if you enjoy simple games. The controls work well, albeit maybe a bit too smooth which can make it slightly difficult to control, especially when trying to fight the enemies. Still, as a free game, it's definitely worth checking out.

Pros : Simple and solid game play
Cons : Can be slightly difficult to control smoothly
