A downloadable game for Windows




A re-imagined version of the Genesis version of Sparkster that aims to create something new and exciting with its existing ideas and assets.
In this game you control Sparkster, a Rocket Knight who can use his rocket pack to launch himself past and through anything standing in his way. Being a possum additionally grants him the ability to use his tail to cling onto parts of the environment.








Supported Input types:


Keyboard, DirectInput and Xinput controller types are currently supported. If your controller is not working, change the controller type in the options.


Please note that while keyboard rebinding is currently working perfectly fine, gamepad input is currently broken beyond function.

Default Keyboard Inputs:
Left and Right arrow keys: move left and right
Z: Attack
X: Hold to charge up your rocket. Release it when its full to boost.
C: Jump.


Default Controller Inputs(Assumes you're using an Xbox pad):
Dpad: move left and right
A: Jump
X: Hold to charge up your rocket. Release it when its full to boost.
B: Attack










Controller rebinding broken


Occasional movement and collision jank


UI is currently very obviously more of a debug thing than an actual UI.
