About Phantom Spark

Phantom Spark thrusts players into high‑speed time‑trial racing across three distinct Domains, each filled with otherworldly architecture and a champion to challenge. The single‑player campaign pushes you to beat champion times, strengthening your spark and unlocking fresh pathways and ships.

Beyond solo play, the game offers local split‑screen and online leaderboards where you can compare over 30 hand‑crafted pathways against friends and the global community. Dynamic challenges, instant restarts, and a flowing soundtrack keep the focus on shaving fractions of a second from every run.

01 / THE GUIDE

Single‑Player and Split‑Screen Multiplayer

The core experience is a single‑player campaign where you race against domain champions, using their times as benchmarks. Ghost opponents display the current best line, letting you refine your approach on each pathway.

A local split‑screen mode lets players race side‑by‑side, sharing the same screen while competing for the fastest times on the same hand‑built routes.

  • Observe ghost opponents to spot optimal racing lines.
  • Use the instant restart feature to maintain rhythm after mistakes.

02 / THE GUIDE

Three Domains and Their Champions

Each of the three Domains presents a unique visual theme, pathway mechanics, and a champion who serves as both guide and opponent. Defeating a champion strengthens your spark and opens new pathways and ships.

The champion’s time acts as a dynamic challenge, encouraging continual improvement as you aim to surpass their record on each domain’s routes.

  • Focus on mastering one domain before moving to the next.
  • Track your spark level to know when new content becomes available.

Hand‑Built Pathways and Replay Mode

Over 30 hand‑crafted pathways provide varied racing experiences, each designed with distinct twists and visual flair. The replay mode lets you review close calls and photo finishes to fine‑tune your technique.

Instant restarts keep you in the flow, allowing rapid iteration on the same pathway without lengthy load times.

  • Watch replays to identify where you lose time.
  • Practice the same pathway repeatedly to build muscle memory.

Global & Friends Leaderboards

Online leaderboards display your ranking against worldwide players and friends, fostering rivalry and motivation to improve. Scores update as you set faster times on any pathway.

Leaderboards cover all 30+ pathways, giving a clear picture of where you stand in each domain’s competitive scene.

  • Check friends’ times for inspiration on new strategies.
  • Aim for incremental improvements to climb the global rankings.
