- Spark is now Free To Play! - 10 March 2021
The title says it all. Spark has been out for 3 1/2 years now for the low price point of $2. I wanted to open it up even further for people so anyone can get in there and play it. Anyone who purchased Spark will get early access to any demos or betas for Spark 2 as well as an exclusive in game unlockable, more details on that later! We really appreciate everyone out there who has given the game a shot and look forward to providing you with new and awesome gaming experiences in the future. Cheers! Ecky
- Kickstarter now live! - 5 April 2019
We just launched a Kickstarter for our next game Last Call for Alcohol. It is a drinking card game with a game-manager mobile app. If any of you are interested we really appreciated the support. If you haven't heard. We also announced Spark 2 and GDC2019 and will have a Steam store page and a demo up this month! Cheers Ecky
- SEASON 2! - 27 February 2018
Welcome to Season 2 of Spark! Spark has been updated and should be much easier for everyone. I have reset the leaderboards so it is fair game for everyone after the gameplay changes. Maybe this season someone will beat the final boss in Conquest. Also, congrats to these players who have forever been immortalized in the in-game credits for their performance in Season 1. Season 1 Champion: Some1xx Season 1 Conquest Master: CalamitySTG Season 1 Survival Master: Origin Angel Season 1 Puzzle Master: satansama If you want to be the champion of Season 2, now is the time to get in there and get scoring. Good luck out there! Cheers Ecky

- Patch 1.2.0 - 25 February 2018
Hello Everyone! Noobs rejoice! Today is the day Spark got a whole lot easier. Based on data and some feedback from players... it appers things were WAY too hard. Especially for those who have never seen or played Spark before release. In this patch, the difficulty curve has been smoothed out in Conquest and Survival. Expect to be able to survive much longer than before, and hopefully get some higher scores! If you think it still needs to be tuned down or tuned up, don't hesitate to drop a suggestion. We are all ears. In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoy yourselves much more! PRO TIP: Focus on the combos! Please if you have any issues or suggestions drop them in the forums or contact me directly on Discord. Reduced difficulty of first section of Conquest Reduced difficulty of first boss. Reduced difficulty of second section of Conquest Defeated bosses now give +1 HP Smoothed out diffic…

- The Future of Spark - 14 December 2017
Hello Everyone! With the last patch, we have not received any reports of leaderboard malfunctions anymore, so hopefully that is all in check. Yippey! Please if you have any issues or suggestions drop them in the forums or contact me directly on Discord. The only way for me to know about a problem and fix it is if you report it to us. So what's next? Well, that is kind of where you guys come in... I have some quality of life changes I want to patch in. I am going to reorder the menu so that Survival is the first game mode you choose, Conquest is much more difficult and can lead to a more frustrating experience if you haven't quite grasped the combo system. Survival is much more forgiving with the early intensity and use of power ups. There have been some ideas about listing combos in the pause menu, helping align combos with for the player automatically while moving, and straight nerfing…

Nerfed health of Sharks. Nerfed probabilities of Dolphin spawning early game. Fixed Conquest Achievements You can catch me on Twitch, if you want to see me working on patches or failing at cli…
