Cube Spark is a simple but challenging game that is all about destroying cubes by tapping the ones that match the color of an electrified cube. The target color changes over time and your score grows faster and faster as long as you continue to make matches quick enough. There is a laid back "Zen Mode" that doesn't have any penalties for clicking the wrong color and a more competitive "Challenge Mode" that takes a life away for every wrong selection. You can destroy single cubes with a tap or you can destroy groups of cubes quickly by swiping your finger across them. There are score leaderboards to climb and plenty of Achievements to discover and unlock. So, stop reading this and go spark some cubes!!

■ Tap the night sky. Your firework starts the chain. Hanabi Chain is a beautiful, deep firework puzzle you play with a single tap. Tap anywhere in the night sky and your firework launches from the bottom, arcs up, and bursts right there — igniting the rising orbs around it so they explode too, spreading into a chain. ■ Easy to play - Tap the sky → your firework flies to that spot and bursts - The blast ignites nearby orbs → they burst and the chain spreads - Burst higher for more points — but time it before the orbs escape off the top - With only 3 shells per stage, WHEN and WHERE you fire decides the chain ■ Easy to learn, deep to master Simple rules — but once you start planning the order and the perfect spots for the biggest chain, it gets wonderfully deep. Bloom casually for the feels, or aim and connect for the glory. ■ Special shells to mix - Big: ignites a wide area at once - Pierce: a straight vertical lance - Time-Stop: slows everything so you can aim - Two-Stage: bursts a second time in the same spot - Rainbow: a wildcard that connects with any color Chain the same color for a bonus. Read the field and build your max chain. ■ Endless worlds Space, deep sea, aurora, volcano, sakura nights, cyber city, sea of clouds, crystal caves... 100+ themed worlds across 500 stages. Each world has its own night-sky palette and music, with a living sky that reacts to every burst. ■ Endless mode The deeper you go, the harder it gets. Chase your best depth and score. ■ Hanabi Collection — collect shaped fireworks As you play, you unlock fireworks that form shapes — cat, heart, star, butterfly, Saturn, willow and more. Pick your favorites and they'll appear at random when you launch. Grow your own firework collection. ■ Great for - Quick one-handed play in spare moments - Relaxing with beautiful visuals - Fans of simple-yet-deep games to master - Anyone who loves fireworks Tap the sky and bloom your own grand finale.
