The Sparkle 2: Evo

Game review

The visuals are very nice, and I loved Flow, so I was pretty interested in this game. Unfortunately the controls are pretty poor. Very unresponsive. It acts as if it's still taking your last input a full second after you let go or change direction. There's actually a lot about the controls that make it feel frustrating, not only because of strange lack of action where it should have some, but because of awkward collision with the environment. Flow was a lot more polished in the area of controls, which I have to say is a very major area.

The evolution seems decent, and the audio is pretty good. I would have a hard time suggesting someone buys this whether you have Flow or not. But yeah, there's a demo. Check it out for yourself. If a patch comes out that polishes the controls (which I think wouldn't be a very difficult patch to get together), I could see this being a pretty good game (8/10), clone or not.
