What is Spectacular Sparky?
A single-player sci-fi platform shooter spanning five worlds and 24 levels. As a bounty hunter tracking fugitives, you dash through obstacles, fire in any direction, and extend jumps by flapping your ears. Each level ends with a boss fight, and vehicle sections put you in a spaceship, hang glider, or lava jet ski.
For you if...
- +you enjoy fast-paced action inspired by classic console games
- +you like sarcastic characters and fully voiced story scenes
Not for you if...
- −you want a long campaign rather than a short arcade game
- −you prefer continuous firing without managing weapon heat
