Sparkle 3 Genesis

My eyes started to hurt after 5 minutes of playing this. It was too much for me plus its boring.

When I first started up this game, I couldn't understand why it had mixed reviews. It seemed pretty amazing, especially because of the music & visual design. I enjoyed it until I came to a part that I just couldn't advance past because you have an extremely narrow & curvy corridor in which you can't touch the walls (if you do you have to restart, by manually going back to the starting point) and you have to account for sudden waves pushing you against those walls at random. I've tried again and again, and I wanted to try again at some point in the future, but after a year of having the game take up space on my hard drive and me still not feeling anything besides frustration when I think about it, I've decided to bury this game for good. Like especially the manually going back to the start, it is just such an absurd, super frustrating, senseless waste of time idea. Although up until that point the game was relaxing, because of this point I think the tag "relaxing" should be removed from this game.

Nice game

really chill and relaxing game with a cool atmosphere exploring the ocean and evolving your creature is pretty fun and satisfying

This is kind of a cool game with a lot of variety that feels a bit like a PS2 game, but the achievements can be a pain and the ending is super abrupt which keeps it from being great. Unlike the other Sparkle games, this one has "quests" and you can choose to level your Sparkle based on the food you eat and the selections you make after you level. It doesn't matter that much- for one, you can't die, and really the only thing that matters is speed and your special attack. If you reach level 50 your Sparkle with be massive and take up two full screens which is cool, but it's not hard to control since the hitbox is just the head. It doesn't actually get stronger and it doesn't seem like you get much faster. The special abilities are important. These are invincibility, a dash attack and the ability to suck in gems. The ability to suck in gems ("nutrients") is the most useful since you eat them to defeat bosses and level. There are a couple really painful sections where you need to navigate a path full of thorns. If you screw up, you get sent back to the beginning. It's cool that you can change layers and the graphic and sound design are great. I'm an achievement completionist and …
