About Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure

Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure mixes factory-style automation with real-time strategy, aiming to satisfy longtime genre veterans while staying approachable for newcomers. Set in a peculiar fantasy world, the game has you unraveling the mysteries of the past, building out automated workshops, and heading off on expeditions alongside your odd little companions, the Sparks.

Rather than relying on conveyor belts, you put the Sparks themselves to work carrying goods and crafting the things you need, including more Sparks. That twist turns logistics into a puzzle of managing Spark traffic, and you'll wield a wide toolbox of options to solve problems of distance and elevation while keeping your designs efficient. It gives the automation formula a fresh spin even for players with thousands of hours in the genre.

Beyond the workshops, you can venture into procedurally generated worlds, exploring distinct biomes and facing unusual foes like Spunnies and Beelephants. You'll gather resources from forgotten ruins, clear the way for new construction, and carry your discoveries back home. As your cozy village grows, this indie simulation and strategy blend lets you share knowledge with the folks around you and reshape the world with technology and the secrets you uncover.
