Sparklite

Not the longest game but very fun to level up, unlock new areas, and boost your character. Plays like a non-mobile light RPG game which I love. No waiting, no ads, just pure good gameplay and fun different bosses. No character/base customization if that's your thing (it's mine tbh) but you can level up both with very nice designs so that was good enough for me :)

(my first review seems to be missing, so rewriting) This game has a lot of polish; the gameplay & controls are about as good as you can get for a mobile game, and the graphics and music are just downright charming. My only issue is that you can't save in the middle of a run and come back later; you lose all of your progress in the current run if you do. This also means that if the game crashes in the middle of a run (which I've had twice now) you just lose everything from that run which is lame.

Few bugs: it crashes randomly after some time playing, maybe 30-60 minutes, sometimes if you kill an enemy while standing on the forge hole when it opens the character walks off the screen and forces a restart. Honestly the crashing is the biggest issue, feels like a memory leak or something, usually preceded by some stuttering and frame dropping. It also loses the license if I try to play offline. I'll buy it if I don't have to worry about technical issues. Play pass til then.
