Play Overview
Phantom Spark (2024) is a high-speed racing game set amongst futuristic architecture. Play involves using your instincts and reactions to nail precision time-trial races against the clock.
It's an exhilarating high-speed racing game that tests your reactions and racing smarts. The challenge is finding the best line to shave seconds off your best time.
As you progress you learn to use the virtual opponents and quick restarts to refine your approach. Use banked corners to maintain your momentum, stay off the grass and maybe even go wide out of a corner to avoid drag. Or on some routes, cutting a corner is worth it even if it means crossing some grass.
The result is a game all about the perfect racing line. Can you squeeze out fractions of a second to beat the times of your friends and family?
