Precision time trials across three domains
Phantom Spark is a time-trial racer built around clean lines and fast, repeatable runs. You race ships through otherworldly architecture across three Domains, each with its own Champion, visual theme, and pathway mechanics. There are over 30 hand-built pathways to learn. The single-player campaign puts the Domain Champions in front of you as both guides and opponents: beat a Champion and your spark strengthens, which unlocks new pathways and ships. Dynamic challenges keep a target in front of you on every run, and the replay mode lets you go back over close calls and photo finishes to see where the time went.
Racing together
Phantom Spark supports Local Split Screen Multiplayer, so a group can race side by side on one screen. Online leaderboards let you and your friends compare times against each other and against the best in the world, which is where the rivalries come from. Online PvP and Remote Play Together are also listed as features. Ghost opponents show the current best time as a run you can watch and race against, so you can see a better racing line and hunt down the fractions of a second you are missing.
Before you start
Instant restarts are built in, so a bad run costs you almost nothing and you can stay in the rhythm while refining a pathway. Expect to replay the same pathway many times; the loop is learning the route, chasing a time, and beating it. A controller is listed among the tags, and a soundtrack runs under the racing to keep you in the flow. The tone is family friendly and arcade-leaning rather than a simulation, with physics and flight elements in how the ships handle.
