  • Phantom Spark pares away everything inessential to provide a blissful time trial racing experience, buttressed by pleasant pastel visuals and a calming soundtrack. There are no extra bells and whistles, but what this indie racer does, it does very well.

  • Solo players will definitely find some challenging fun here, and I have found myself trying to beat a few of my own times, but I’m not sure how much I’ll return to it over time to test my skills. Some of the tracks I cannot see how I can go any faster, and unless some of my online pals pick it up and get into it the online random leaderboards aren’t enough to keep me coming back.

  • The no-frills approach to racing may not appeal to everyone, but for those who are willing to put in the time to watch and learn, Phantom Spark presents an aesthetically pleasing and nuanced experience that would benefit from just a bit more under the hood.

  • The simplicity of Phantom Spark's controls and short, easily-memorizable courses are a welcoming on-ramp for a beast of a racer, where the need for a better time eventually reveals a skill-ceiling that's far higher than it's got any right to be.

  • To be honest, Phantom Spark does well to provide the tools to achieve perfection. The racing controls precisely how I'd want it and the track locations echo the zen-like sensibilities the writing wants to promote. It has a clear vision and executes on it. Unfortunately, it feels lacking in content. The main levels go by quickly and, as someone not desperate to climb leaderboards, there was very little reason for me to return. It's worth checking out if you're up for the post-game self-improvement, but I was hoping for more levels to conquer.

  • Phantom Spark é um ótimo jogo de corrida para tomada de tempos que buscam se aproximar da perfeição, usando de controles precisos e de traçados bem desenhados para desafiar os jogadores mais dedicados. Porém, com poucos modos de jogo, multiplayer pouco inspirado e minimalismo artístico, faz pouco por quem busca algo diferente da constante repetição em busca do milésimo impossível.

  • By modern standards Phantom Spark may even be considered a little barebones, but it’s also a relaxing, chilled out experience.

  • Phantom Spark is a futuristic racing game reminiscent of classics like F-Zero and Wipeout. Give it a go if you enjoy fast-paced racing with a challenge, appreciate a focus on skill over upgrades, and love replaying tracks to shave off milliseconds.

  • Phantom Spark is a time trial racing game that will push players to their limit, challenging them to return to events time and time again in order to master them and place high on the global leaderboards. While it doesn't have a massive amount of content, it will keep some players entertained for hours on end.

  • It is a fantastic game with exceptional presentation, optimization, controls, physics, and worthy challenges to force yourself to keep improving. It feels refreshing as you grasp the controller to beat your best time on every try, just as the first time you booted in, which is rare for any racing game in the market.

About the game


Phantom Spark is an all-new, momentum-based, time-trial racing game that encourages you to smash time trial records with no speed limit holding you back throughout its weaving, rollercoaster-like levels. Face off in heated rivalries throughout the single-player campaign as you attempt to smash the record on each track throughout the world of Phantom Spark. Become the Best With easy-to-learn and hard-to-master gameplay, Phantom Spark offers the player the chance to improve their time on each track through knowledge of every twist and turn, mastery over their ship and the willingness to bend the laws of physics. Beat the Best Throughout our single-player campaign, you will meet the guardians of every track, utilise your knowledge and skills to beat them in 1-on-1 races in order to create links, unlock new levels, new cosmetically altered ships as you progress throughout the game. Beat the Rest With online leaderboards and the ghosts of other players, you can compete against your friends and forge new online rivalries with other players as you bid to post the perfect time on over 30 tracks.
