A while back I played that Zuma clone Sparkle 2, and it was pretty good. Well, I recently got a free trial of PSNow to preview what the upcoming PS+ changes might be like, and the original Sparkle was on there and so I gave it a go.
The only real difference between this and Sparkle 2 is that in that game you have the launcher in a fixed point but can rotate 360 degrees and shoot balls that way – like in Zuma. In this, you have a launcher that you move horizontally across the bottom of the screen – like in Luxor.
It’s a polished enough game, and I enjoyed it, but it isn’t exactly high art or anything.
