Spark and Sparkle (shmup + puzzle)

Post by A Skeleton »

This game is surprisingly enjoyable. It's similar to Twinkle Star Sprites in that you compete against the CPU or another player. The end goal is to finish a puzzle before the opponent. It didn't take long for it to become very intuitive.

The gameplay cycle is thus.

1; Shoot enemies to make them drop gems
2: Collect enough gems to spawn a capsule
3: Bounce the capsule into enemies to make a puzzle piece come out. Shooting the capsule will open it faster.
4: Pick up the puzzle piece and place it on the field. Greyed out means it's in the wrong place.

Also don't get hit or your opponent can steal placed pieces.
