Sparkle 2 is a Match 3 game of the arcade type, meaning you shoot balls (instead of swapping tiles on a board) to eliminate groups of three or more balls of the same color.

The game has 4 modes:
- Quest Mode: you travel across a map that leads to various places where you need to look for four keys, having to beat a match 3 level at each of the 92 steps on the map in order to progress.
- Survival Mode: 32 endless match 3 levels. The longer you can survive, the more stars you're awarded (up to 5 per level).
- Challenge Mode: 24 maps you each need to complete 3 or more times in order to complete the challenge. The difficulty increases gradually.
- Cataclysm Mode: 20 challenging levels to try and beat.

Every couple of levels you clear in the Quest Mode will unlock one of the other game modes, or the 'Hard' and 'Nightmare' difficulty for Quest Mode, or an enchantment. Enchantments are upgrades for your cannon. Your cannon has four slots and by the end of adventure mode, you'll have a choice of four boons for each slot. This means you can actually try and find a 'build' that works for you, which makes the game a personalized experience for each player.

While playing and eliminating groups of same-colored balls, every 3 succesful matches will spawn a power-up. Shooting these power-ups will activate them. The power-ups are varied, some giving you some form of instant major firepower or manipulating the balls' speed or color.

All in all, I had a lot of fun playing Sparkle 2. Also, with all of its game modes and difficulties, there are a ton of hours of playtime here if you want to get everything done.

Sparkle 2's graphics look fine. Although they're basic, they are colorful and vivid. The music sounds good and it doesn't get annoying, even after playing for a couple of hours. Sound effects are clear and crisp.

Sparkle 2 has 15 Steam Trading Cards. You'll get 8 while running the game.

Ten of the 14 Steam Achievements will unlock by playing through the adventure mode. The remaining four are a lot more difficult to achieve. They require completing the adventure mode on 'hard' and 'nightmare' difficulty, and completing and acing the 'Survival' and 'Challenge' game modes. Cataclysm Mode was added to the Steam version by means of an update, so that's probably the reason there isn't an achievement connected to that mode.
