Spark Relay has grown into Inkturn!

Inkturn builds on this prototype’s puzzle idea, with two inkfish leaving paths for each other. A free 10-level demo is now available on Steam for Windows.



The original Spark Relay prototype

You can still play the original browser prototype here. Spark Relay is a small puzzle game about leaving the right path for your counterpart.

How to play

  • WASD / arrows: move
  • Move on the opposite color
  • Leave your own color behind
  • Collect sparks to switch control
  • Collect all sparks to finish the level
  • R: retry

Feedback is welcome, especially if something felt confusing, satisfying, or memorable.

Checked out your other game, lattice weave first. this puzzle game is so good, that was a ton of fun. Hope you come out with more puzzles and do a release on steam!

Thank you! I just made another short demo: https://lucenttrace.itch.io/ember-chambers

I’m going to evaluate these current demos first, then decide which one is worth expanding.

I decided to expand Spark Relay into Inkturn, and the free demo is now on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5073710/Inkturn/

Thanks again for playing all three prototypes and sharing your thoughts.

I'd make it so you can edit the input buttons because right now I can't move up because some buttons overlap on my keyboard

This was very good: a clever new take on pathfinding.  Some of the levels were much easier than others: #10 took a little care but not so much that it needed more than one attempt, whereas I took several attempts to get #7 and many, many attempts to get #9.  Overall very satisfying though!

Ooh this is tricky. I like this. #8 is frying my brain
