Szikra (Spark in Hungarian) is a relaxing, 2.5D side-scrolling short game set in a unique steampunk/fantasy environment. You have to find your way through vast fields, magical forests, and giant gears in a steaming factory to reach the twisted circus where your friend is locked up. There is no combat, no dying, and no way to fail. However, you will still need a few well-timed jumps, and you must find switches and push boxes around to get to your destination.

Visual style

The world and visual style of the game were inspired by the beautiful paintings of Anita Tóth (Worlds Within). In many places, you can find the original paintings in the game.

Free to play

Szikra was created in about 10 months by a sole developer as a fun project and is free to play. If you enjoyed playing the game, please consider supporting me by buying the Soundtrack DLC.
