About

EdgeSpark

Features
Read full description

EdgeSpark is a fast, skill-based puzzle game where every move counts. Using a slingshot mechanic, you launch an energy orb inside a phone-shaped arena with one simple goal: touch all four edges in a single shot. Each edge lights up when hit, but if you miss even one before your ball stops or escapes through a gap, you’ll have to try again. What starts simple quickly becomes a true test of precision and planning. Early levels are wide open, but as you progress, obstacles appear, gaps open in the walls, and tight angles demand perfectly judged ricochets. You’ll need to predict trajectories, use clever bounces, and master momentum to clear each stage. Features: • One-shot puzzle gameplay – hit all four edges in a single launch • Increasingly challenging levels with obstacles and edge gaps • Satisfying physics-based ricochet and bounce mechanics • Clean neon visuals and responsive touch controls • Quick to play, hard to master EdgeSpark is easy to pick up but deeply rewarding to perfect. Line up your shot, release, and watch the sparks fly.
