All the different levels and game modes, along with the enchantments, make for hours of gameplay. Also, there are a total of 3 modes in Sparkle 2: Story, Survival, and Challenge. With over 90 levels in different settings, there is plenty of content, and the difficult ramps up at a nice pace. When the marbles come in from multiple directions and the path loops around on itself, things can get tricky fast. I was surprised how difficult the levels in Sparkle 2 can get. The graphics are vibrant and beautiful, and the soundtrack is spot-on. In fact, all of Sparkle 2 looks and sounds great. While not unique by any means to Sparkle 2, the power-ups that oftentimes appear completely away from the orb chain, make gameplay more interesting since they can help enormously if a level is going poorly and they all look neat.
I could tell that the developers knew a regular marble-shooter gets repetitive after a while so they included plenty of others things to focus on besides the gameplay. Example include the “speed unleashed” enchantment that makes the orbs, what most other games refer to as marbles, fly faster and the “tranquility” enchantment that makes the orb chain move slower. Players can unlock enchantments that vary the gameplay. I had a lot of fun playing this game because the controls and concept are simple and there is a large meta-game aspect involved. I’ve played other similar games, but none come as close to offering the complete package like Sparkle 2. Despite the competition, Sparkle 2 stands out from the rest because of its gorgeous visuals and multifaceted gameplay. Marble-shooters have been around since the app store launched years ago and there are many to choose from.
