Features & Capabilities

Spirit by Marco Mazzoli offers an intense, retro-inspired arcade experience tailored for modern touchscreens. Unlike traditional arcade games, Spirit eliminates on-screen controls and shooting mechanics, instead allowing players to slide their fingers to control the game's character fluidly. This unique control scheme creates a seamless, engaging gameplay that has been hailed as a paradigm of independent game development.

The game's core mechanic involves guiding Spirit through multiple enemy waves, using space distortion to send foes into another dimension. It features dynamically generated challenges, encouraging players to build combos and maximize scores. Critically acclaimed for its smooth controls, stunning visual effects, and captivating sound design, Spirit delivers challenging yet accessible arcade mayhem perfect for gamers seeking a fresh take on classic gameplay.

User Reviews

Spirit reviews are overall positive about the game's addictive, simple-to-learn arcade fun, stylish visuals, and quick play sessions. However, users repeatedly report major update-induced regressions: performance drops, broken tutorials, lost progress, and changed gameplay. Input issues are common across devices, with controls lagging or not keeping up and stylus support lacking. Display problems like incorrect rotation and stretched aspect ratios on some tablets also appear. Despite these, the core experience remains loved and replayable when issues are addressed.

Pros

Fun and addictive gameplay

Simple to learn but hard to master
Unique/creative gameplay with a classic arcade feel

Cons

Update regressions causing bugs and changes to progression (broken tutorials, lost achievements, changed gameplay)
Performance downgrades after the latest update
Controls/input responsiveness issues across devices (lag, not keeping up with movement) including stylus input problems
Display/orientation problems on devices (wrong rotation on tablets and stretched aspect ratios)
Lack of effective stylus/S Pen support or poor pen behavior

Recent reviews

sadly the game currently seems to be broken, at least on my device. When you click Play it drops you into a tutorial mode which there's no way to exit. It used to work, so maybe the revamp has broken it

A+! 😎👍

had a five-star review for this game since 2012 (and have played it almost daily since then). HOWEVER, the recent update has completely changed the 'physics' of this game and it is now unplayable when compared to it's previous version. Very sad (imo). I get the game was due an update, but why make it so different to the original version? No longer able to do a 'full screen' capture during gameplay, even with the speed set to highest.. I'm really dissapointed
