For those unfamiliar the gameplay consists of making matches of 3 marbles or more of the same color that are moving along a path. While this is very similar to Sparkle 2 this time you’re able to move your shooter left and right to get in position to make a shot rather than rotate around in a single point. It is a small change but it does give the game a different feel. In order to further differentiate there are some differences in ball types with some that have chains and require 2 steps to destroy as well as rocks that go away when something is matched touching them. In addition, as you progress in Unleashed you have the ability to choose which upgrades you want to unlock, either going wide to get a variety or deep to further enhance a specific power-up. All are small changes but they’re welcome and offer variety. While you can play in docked mode with the joycon the preferred way to play is still, by far, handheld mode where you’ll simply be more precise. All in all if you’re a casual gaming fan Sparkle Unleashed is an affordable title that is well-executed and offers quite a lot of content for the price of admission. While it is a variant on games already out there on other platforms as always 10 Tons has managed to ensure they put their own stamp on it and it and it is one of the few casual games of this kind on the Switch. If you’re looking for something to help you unwind with on the couch it is an excellent choice.
