Games of Strategy
Quick spark games of strategy and skill challenge players to beat their own personal scores or those of online competitors, either real or computerized. The challenge can be a task that must be completed within a designated time or a goal that must be attained. Popular quick spark strategy games include war defense games, mazes, minefields and treasure hunts.
Racing Games
Racing challenges are very popular in quick spark games. These do require more than one player to be effective and can consist of animated motorcycles, BMX bicycles, cars, monster trucks or four-wheelers. Major obstacles, collisions and other challenges are involved in the play, and the winner is usually the first to cross a finish line.
Sports Competitions
Many quick spark games have sport themes such as golf, football, tennis, skiing, rugby, pool, or air hockey. The objectives are usually the same as in the real games but may involve quirky or entertaining action during or at the end of the game. Sports enthusiasts can play indoor variations of the games they love and compete against other like-minded individuals.
Puzzles
Puzzle games may consist of a maze or obstacles to overcome to get to a specific destination or an elimination of figures or symbols within a specific time frame. Many start out as very simplistic and increase in difficulty as the game progresses and the player becomes increasingly adept.
Arcade Games
Some quick spark games mimic arcade games with star fighters, alien invasions, bumper cars, and variations on the Mario, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man games. These games generate very high scores and offer mini online tournaments for their loyal followers.
Scoring
Many sites track the scores of their many enthusiastic and loyal players. This usually requires a membership of some type, either free or with a small fee. The sites maintain a scoreboard, usually on the home page, with current top players for competitors to view, challenge and attempt to overcome.
