## About This Game
Sparkles & Gems is a unique take on the classic ball-and-paddle game, with
wild power-ups, a fun and deep story, and many little treasures along the way!

The cast of this adventure includes four main protagonists:
Softie Meow the ice cream cat
Sandway the business horse
OAT the plushie ferret
Geometry Clown the geometry clown
## Story Mode
A visual novel-esque experience with a wide range of characters and emotions.
Dive into the character’s lives and aspirations as their paths converge.
Laugh, cry, and sparkle! Follow the drama of Softie Meow’s journey as they
contemplate their life after graduating University. What will OAT’s experience
be after struggling at their newest job? Can Geometry Clown find some way to
move out of their extra-dimensional mom’s house and live their true life as a
clown bringing edutainment to all? And what exactly is Sandway’s true motive?
He is all about the business… but to what end? Oh, the adventures that await
these four beings as they make their way through this beautiful thing called
Sparkles & Gems.
## Treasure Mode
Play for treasure chests full of goodies. Defeat as many opponents in a row as
you can to gain experience points, level up, and collect resources. You can
use these resources you’ve gathered to buy and cast spells and win more
matches. Try to top your high score! But not least of all, you can spend your
haul to get 50 unique objects to decorate your room with! View your room from
above to see your toaster, electronics, little knick-knacks, the special
“ooloophant”, and even maple syrup. They can all be yours when you conquer
your opponents and increasingly level up your treasure-hunting power in this
arcadey adventure!
## 2P Mode
Quick and easy local multiplayer like the olden days (or take it online with
Steam’s Remote Play Together) . No one’s victory is assured when wacky things
can happen. There are only 2 buttons (left & right) so anyone can play! Just
jump right in!
