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 cat
Sandway the business horse
OAT the plushie ferret
Geometry 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!

游戏性这块我没法评判,要跟上球速比较吃力,眼不疾手不快,小小打砖块可笑可笑,整的我有点自闭。19章再往下后半程基本都懵逼和神游,好比打网球判断不准落点(3档速度,也容易跑过头)。第40章--penultimate,即倒数第二场对战实在太气人,我软磨硬泡了半个小时;反观最终战倒像走个过场,临近收尾一遍过。
对话口语还是要比书面语用词简单,涉及到少量美国俚语:"hit the hay", "thrift store"。
游戏主要是故事模式值得品,活脱一出跳跃小品,遇事不决超现实。人类的悲欢并不相同,但多少需要相互依偎(cuddle)的人,如此”众乐乐“就将纷至沓来。生活何其漫长,有一两知己足矣,快意人生,不求卓越拔尖,但求顺其自然。
完
对战形式的打砖块,球还会下坠,对我来说有点难上手,同时技能奖励可能对平衡性略有影响。我先开了个冰激凌猫和雪貂的序章,希望能通关故事模式。

Softie的一些话我感同身受了,对话很可爱也很有趣。
