The Finest Spark

The Finest Spark is a physics-based survivors-like set in a militaristic science-fiction universe. You command a starship against an overwhelming enemy force, advancing down enemy lines with superior firepower or fleeing when survival is the priority.

Control your ship

Your crew can engage targets automatically, or you can switch to the manual Fire Control System and direct a focused barrage. You can designate individual high-priority targets with the mouse. Flight Assist lets you steer toward the cursor; you can keep direct control for maximum responsiveness or use both approaches as needed.

Momentum and crew

Ship handling is based on momentum and inertia. You navigate tight spaces, evade threats and use physics to your advantage, while collisions can be fatal. Combat can be slow and intense, or you can build up speed until an asteroid stops you; larger, denser objects have the right of way.

Your crew is trained and hardened, but G-loads remain a danger. Pushing the ship too far for too long can end a mission early. As crew members rank up, they handle G-loads better, and you gain higher chances of finding advanced weapons and ship upgrades.

Missions and progression

You destroy enemies, collect EXPARTS and hold out as long as possible. Each mission advances your crew rank and permanent ship upgrades, so defeat contributes to building a more powerful ship. The enemies include the [REDACTED] swarm.
