Blaster Basics

Spectacular Sparky

A throwback to the golden age of white-gloved 16-bit video-game mascots, Spectacular Sparky is an action-packed platformer with wacky characters, explosive weapons and boss battles to treasure!

The release of Spectacular Sparky is just one day away! What better time to brush up on your bounty-hunting blaster skills? As Sparky knows all too well, [i]most[/i] problems can be solved with a reckless hail of gunfire. But you'll sometimes find yourself in situations where a bit more precision is needed to reduce your foes to cinders. Luckily there's the Aim Lock button for just such an occasion! Hold it down to lock Sparky's current blaster angle, allowing him to fire in one direction while moving around in any direction!

That's when the Aim button is your best bet! Hold it to anchor Sparky in place, aim in any direction you want, and blast away!

Watch that heat meter though - if you go trigger-happy for too long, you'll burn out your currently equipped special ammo, returning it to the standard blaster mode. Get those trigger fingers ready, because Spectacular Sparky, the action-packed 16-bit throwback you've been waiting for, launches TOMORROW!
