✨ Explore. Think. Tinker. Race.

SparkPlug is a cozy, colorful toy-world adventure about exploring a storybook town, solving practical problems, customizing your character, and watching your actions bring the world to life.

🗺️ A World That Responds

SparkPlug's puzzles aren't just abstract screens.

Your actions are connected to the world around you.

Repair something and see it working.
Solve a route problem and watch an area open up.
Complete a challenge and discover what changed.

The goal is to make solving a problem feel like you've actually helped this little world.

🧩 Built Around Curiosity

SparkPlug currently contains 50 puzzle stories across five chapters, with challenges built around different forms of reasoning.

You'll encounter things such as:

• sequencing
• deduction
• spatial reasoning
• balancing
• route planning
• pattern recognition
• classification
• cause and effect

The intention isn't to make every puzzle difficult.

It's to make players stop for a moment and think:

"Wait... what if I try this?"

🏎️ SparkPlug Grand Prix

Need a break from thinking?

Get behind the wheel.

The Grand Prix turns the world into a compact technical racing circuit where you can:

• drive from cockpit or third-person views
• navigate checkpoints
• use turbo
• honk your horn
• toggle headlights
• experiment with the track
• race alongside other players on LAN

It's deliberately playful rather than hardcore simulation.

🐾 Make Your Spark Buddy Yours

Create a character and experiment with different appearances and cosmetic equipment.

The Character Studio lets you explore your character's:

• appearance
• face
• hair
• style
• outfits
• accessories

Then take your Spark Buddy out into the world.

👥 Play Together — Locally

SparkPlug supports private LAN multiplayer for players on the same local network.

Play together without public matchmaking or open online chat.

You can explore the world together, interact with shared activities, and jump into multiplayer racing.

For this playtest, LAN is one of the areas where we especially want feedback.

🧪 This Is an Early Public Playtest

This is SparkPlug's initial public testing run.

The game is playable, but it is still being tuned and polished.

That means you may encounter:

• visual glitches
• UI oddities
• camera issues
• puzzle/interaction bugs
• unusual character behavior
• racing/vehicle handling that needs tuning
• Android touch-control issues
• performance differences between devices
• LAN connection or synchronization problems
• unfinished polish
• bugs that we haven't managed to find yet

That's what this release is for.

If something breaks, behaves strangely, feels confusing, or simply isn't fun, please tell us.

Even a report like:

"I don't know what happened, but this felt weird."

can be useful.
