A ret🎶ro-futuristic throwback for the modern age sounds like one hell of a conundrum, but that's exactly what makes Phantom Spark look so enticing. Having made its world premiere during the Future Games Show, the sci-fi time-trial spacecraft racer gives strong WipeOut and Thumper vibes, with a gorgeous pastel color palette and whimsical-looking cha𒁏racter roster akin to the likes of Sable.
Throw in a ze🌳n dub-meets-liquid drum and bass soundtrack, and Phantom Spark is absolutely flying.
