What is Sparkle Unleashed?
This single-player 2D marble shooter has you fire colored orbs from a launcher along the bottom of the screen, clearing groups of three or more across 108 levels and a Survival mode. In a secluded world, you light magical braziers to push back darkness while dealing with chained and rock orbs and choosing powerups.
For you if...
- +you like match-three puzzles with arcade-style shooting
- +you want selectable powerups and increasingly challenging levels
Not for you if...
- −you prefer puzzles without arcade-style marble shooting
- −you prefer puzzles without a dark fantasy setting
