## What is Sparkden?

Sparkden is the apple game — a gentle place for children to play, learn, and imagine.

DRAW A RAMP, ROLL THE APPLE HOME
Draw a slope with your finger, press play, and watch the apple roll into the basket. Steeper means faster. Nothing is scripted: it is a real 2D physics engine, and kids push on the world and watch it push back.

TWENTY-ONE LEVELS, SIX GARDENS
Meadow — one slope, then longer, then a basket up on a post and a log in the way.
Orchard — a bouncy mushroom, a branch to dive under, a stump to arc over.
Windy hill — the wind pushes the apple along, and a windmill turns across the path.
Pond — apples float! Roll it into the water and the current sails it home.
Sky — one helium balloon makes the apple light; two lift it, and you tap to pop them over the basket.
Moon — everything falls slowly, and more than one apple has to get home.

SAVED PROGRESS
Every solved level earns up to three stars and unlocks the next. Progress is saved on the device, so the game picks up right where your child left off.

SAFE TO FAIL
Falling is never a failure — the apple just hops back to the start. Try again is the point.

SAFE BY DESIGN
100% free. No ads, ever. No accounts, ever. Play on the device — nothing to sign up for, nothing collected.

Sparkden is for kids roughly ages 3–8. An adult nearby is recommended for the youngest.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.2.1 — 2026-09-10

Butterflies now wander, flap their wings, and fly downward when you tap them — no more popping away. The other little games feel livelier too: sparks drift into a glowing jar, baskets light up when a matching apple is near, the next star on the trail pulses, and numbers cheer when you line one up.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-09-08

Sparkden is now one game: the apple. Twenty-one levels in six gardens — ramps, a bouncy mushroom, wind and a windmill, a pond the apple floats in, helium balloons to pop on time, and the moon. Progress is saved, so you pick up where you left off. Long play sessions stay smooth: a sound-effect leak that slowly froze the game on some Android phones is fixed.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-02

Six games now: Which hole? and Seesaw are gone. Roll it home grows to eight levels with branches and stumps. The playfield stays clear of the system bar and nothing can fly out through the top.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-21

No release notes.
