About

Spartha

Features
Read full description

Sparks — living creatures of raw element — are crossing into our world, and they need someone to stand with. That someone is you. BOND, DON'T COLLECT Your Sparks aren't tools. Feed them twice a day, heal them when they're hurt, and earn their trust. Neglect them and they will genuinely leave. Trust decides everything — including which of three branching evolutions your Spark grows into. The strongest form of all, the Legendary bloom, is reserved for a bond that never broke. A REAL ADVENTURE Explore handcrafted regions — bayou, frost mines, gilt canyons, the Skyreach — through a story of three kids, a portal, and the fading Resonance. Fight turn-based battles where injuries matter and conceding is sometimes the wisest move. Build and defend your own realm: biomes, buildings, workers, and a Heart worth protecting. YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS THE MAP Step outside with the Real World map: wild Sparks roam your streets, the biggest parks in your city hide Bit Mines, and nearby trainers can challenge you to live battles. See Sparks in AR, right in front of you. (Location is optional — the full story plays without it, and other players only ever see your approximate position.) FAMILY FIRST No ads. No tracking. Accounts are username-only — no email needed. Made to be shared by kids, parents, and whoever in the house turns out to be the best trainer. Your Sparks are waiting. Try not to keep them hungry.
