Thank you for playing our demo!

Stumpy Spark in the Rain by Gronstef.

Our first ever fan art (Twitter Link) was this beautiful rendering of Stumpy Spark carrying a piece of Aether Shard in the rain. If you’re interested, there’s actually a timelapse video showing the process!

Choppy Spark by Evi

This one is a fan art from the daughter of our Gameplay Engineer, Lukas. She’s almost six years old and surprised her dad with the art, asking him if he recognized what it was! We think it’s pretty recognizable.

Stumpy and Player Character by Derek

We’ve shown this one on Twitter before. Derek sent us via Instagram this adorable drawing of Stumpy looking very happy to be in the arms of the player character!

Self Portrait with Stumpy by Exilecast/Pedro Almeida

Exilecast (Twitter Link) created this self portrait for the thumbnail of his Let’s Play! He explores the start of the demo and has a second video coming up where he’s really working on the automation puzzles.
Here’s his first video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iwp7bsHTxhE

Leading Stumpy Spark by cuh_riss/Christopher Cantin

Chris (Twitter Link) created this super fun art for the thumbnail of a YouTube video by InterndotGif (Twitter Link)! The video is a cut and edited showcase of Intern’s playthrough. We enjoyed watching it a lot! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OBPv8_q1bk

Pixel Self Portrait with Stumpies by Pix’n’Cafey

Pix’n’Cafey created a very moody portrait of our game for his Let’s Play! He plays in French, but if you don’t speak it, with auto-caption & auto-translate, you can get a glimpse into his commentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ilJOA5zm7o

Spark Item Delivery Speed Per Tile Calculations by Jurjen909

Wondering how long it takes for items to walk in a straight line? Jurjen909 has built a spreadsheet, with graphs to help you figure out how to build your base. You can find the thread on our Discord here!

Setup to Maximize Choppy Spark Production by *&

*& graphed out a theoretically optimum setup to get those Choppy Sparks. This base uses small circles to move items quickly! There’s some theory talk about it over at our #tips-and-tricks Discord channel.

Maze Base by Feline

Feline dropped this WILD base that we just had to share. We had to compress it, so you can look at the full glory at our #base-showcase channel in discord! We’ll leave you with Feline’s original comments:

I know most people have optimization/automation goals, but I ended up with different goals in mind and instead made a maze to punish my right-turn-preferring minions. I couldn’t force them to make arbitrary decisions, so instead I used path splitters to force them to have a 1:2 or 1:3 chance of picking correctly on any given choice. There are 7 total splitters/junctions, but a correct path requires only 5 total decisions, only one of which has turning right as the correct choice. If I’ve mathed right, it should be a 1:72 chance of picking the correct path. Answer key/adventure text in the top left.

Wooden Blade Factory by Xaendreth

For a more… normal base, we wanted to showcase this neat and tidy wooden blade Factory by Xaendreth! The bases uses loops and Sparks running in both directions to distribute items.

Storage Area by OpPointBaker

We’ve also shown this one off on Twitter with more images! It’s always fun to see how people build and what they prioritize and clearly for OpPointBaker, that’s their personal storage!

Car by Zhymet

And we want to end this post by showing you this fun design. Not every base needs to be optimised and perfect! We love seeing people draw with the Path tool and create fun doodles, take the long way around, and play the game at their own pace.
