About Sparkles & Gems

Sparkles & Gems is a unique take on the classic ball-and-paddle game, with wild power-ups, a fun and deep story, and many little treasures along the way!

The cast of this adventure includes four main protagonists:Softie Meow the ice cream catSandway the business horseOAT the plushie ferretGeometry Clown the geometry clown

Story Mode


A visual novel-esque experience with a wide range of characters and emotions. Dive into the character's lives and aspirations as their paths converge. Laugh, cry, and sparkle! Follow the drama of Softie Meow's journey as they contemplate their life after graduating University. What will OAT's experience be after struggling at their newest job? Can Geometry Clown find some way to move out of their extra-dimensional mom's house and live their true life as a clown bringing edutainment to all? And what exactly is Sandway's true motive? He is all about the business... but to what end? Oh, the adventures that await these four beings as they make their way through this beautiful thing called Sparkles & Gems.

Treasure Mode


Play for treasure chests full of goodies. Defeat as many opponents in a row as you can to gain experience points, level up, and collect resources. You can use these resources you've gathered to buy and cast spells and win more matches. Try to top your high score! But not least of all, you can spend your haul to get 50 unique objects to decorate your room with! View your room from above to see your toaster, electronics, little knick-knacks, the special "ooloophant", and even maple syrup. They can all be yours when you conquer your opponents and increasingly level up your treasure-hunting power in this arcadey adventure!

2P Mode


Quick and easy local multiplayer like the olden days (or take it online with Steam's Remote Play Together). No one's victory is assured when wacky things can happen. There are only 2 buttons (left & right) so anyone can play! Just jump right in!

✦ AI summary

Players praise Sparkles & Gems as a unique and charming indie puzzle game that blends breakout mechanics with versus-mode gameplay in the style of Tetris Attack or Puyo Puyo, highlighted by quirky artwork, accessible yet deep gameplay, and an unexpectedly heartfelt story mode about personal growth. The colorful cast of characters and whimsical tone resonate strongly with players, though the game's unconventional aesthetic and initial complexity may not appeal to everyone. Overall, it's consistently described as a hidden gem that punches above its weight for a small indie project.

A very unique blend of breakout style puzzle gameplay put into a 1v1 shell akin to the likes of tetris attack or puyo puyo. The gameplay is a lot at first but ends up being quite fun, and I'd imagine being very skilled at the game would allow someone a depth of adoration for the game. The game is split into the 2P versus mode, the gameplay and decorating focused treasure mode, and my personal highlight: the story mode. The story follows 4 characters: Softie Meow the ice cream cat, Sandway the business-horse, OAT the plushie ferret, and The Geometry Clown. All of them have hardships in their life, but through interactions with friends, each other, and Sparkles & Gems, they learn to better themselves and to be a more positive force. It's a cute story that doesn't get too serious and is honestly a fun, weird romp! I was very pleasantly surprised by this game, and I think it's a good addition to the 1v1 puzzler lineup with some unique flair to it! Another banger from resnijars like usual :)

Weirdfur version of breakout mixed with tetris vs mode. If the art draws you in, absolutely play this game! The story mode is strange and sweet, sitting at about an hour or two to complete depending on how good you are. The gameplay has a lot of depth, but is still simple enough that you can play without entirely understanding the mechanics. This is peak indie games to me, it encompasses everything i love about small team projects <3
