Don't get frustrated you will have to re-do lots of levels.The speed at which they run through the track is also increased. The Nightmare difficulty is quite tough – the orbs rarely spawn in pairs, so very few matches can be made without firing two orbs from your launcher. Unfortunately, the three difficulty trophies don’t stack, so you will have to do 3 full playthroughs. The trophy will pop after the credits roll and you return to the menu. It is quite linear, and you will collect several keys along the way. The quest is the ‘story’ mode of this game and, since the game material says ‘over 90 levels’, consists of 91 levels, called days in the game. If it wasn’t, load up a survival level with the launcher in the centre of the screen and let potential matches pile up before starting a chain. The only trophy that could be left is Rapid Powerups, but it is highly likely that this was obtained earlier. Step 4: Complete survival mode for Survival Star Step 3: Complete challenge mode for Challenge Master This will get you Hard Quest Completed and Nightmare Over Step 2: Complete the quest in Hard and Nightmare difficulty. By the time you are done with the first quest, you should have unlocked: Step 1: Play through the quest – it will start automatically when you launch the game. Once you do have them, they carry over through the rest of the game. Wait until after your first quest is done to start them though, as you will not have all of the enchantments available to you. Steps 2-4 can be done in any order, and the survival and challenge modes can be a work in progress behind the quest mode. The PS4 and Vita versions utilise the touchpad, but other than that, there are no differences that I am aware of. This guide was done using the PS3 version. The game is published on PS3, PS4 and Vita, as well as a variety of other mobile platforms. The game starts off gentle, but gets fiendishly difficult by the end. The premise is that you must fill the border with runes before the orbs make their way to the sink hole. The PS4 LED also changes colour depending on which orb is present in the launcher.Sparkle 2 is a match 3 game of the style normally seen on phones and tablets, but makes an appearance on consoles here. The music is also good but there are only a few tracks that repeat over and over, eventually getting stuck in your head. These power ups can be things like slowing down the action for a few seconds to firing explosives to destroy a chunk of the orbs, and add another layer of tactical play. Visually both versions look really nice and the animations are smooth, from the firing of orbs to the various power ups you can acquire in the game. On the Vita though the touch controls are perfectly fine. It would have been better to keep that action keyed to just one button. However when aiming and firing the orbs would sometimes switch when I wanted to fire, which meant shooting the wrong orb. In Sparkle 2 you can switch the orbs in your launcher around by pressing circle, but the touch pad also has that function. I found myself preferring the touch pad, though it isn’t without its problem. On the PS4 you can control how you fire the orbs by either using the left analog to aim and R2 to fire, or by using to touch pad to do the same. It’s a decent challenge that gets harder as you progress. Survival mode is a mode where you have to survive for as long as possible as there is no end to the line of orbs heading straight to the black hole. The first offers different objectives for you to complete, though it doesn’t really differ from the main game. Outside of the main quest there are also the Challenge and Survival modes. The aim is to stop the orbs falling down a hole though some levels have two or three of them, which means you have to keep an eye on different orb threads as they snake themselves around the paths. The time it takes to complete a level can vary from around a minute to up to seven, especially in later stages, and you’ll lose quite a lot due to how frantically quick new orbs get introduced the further you advance through the game. You can mix and match your launcher build, with up to four enchantments being allowed to be equipped, though once you find the combination you’re comfortable with you’ll probably stick with it. To help with the rising difficulty you’ll be awarded different enchantments to improve the launcher, as well as other advantages in the game such as making the orbs move slower. There are 92 levels to complete in this quest for keys, though many stages do repeat themselves with different parameters introduced, such as a new colour being introduced or the orbs moving faster, which in turn steadily makes Sparkle 2 more of a challenge.
