If I had a nickel for every time Freom is the best boss in a Spark game, I would have 3, which is quite the magic number, but it's strange it happened 3 times.
Speaking of Freedom Planet, a full review of the two games and a boss fight countdown of Freedom Planet. That would be really cool to see. Just see what you can do, as a review to Freedom Planet would be really nice, as it's one of my favorite Indie games I got to play.
@mauricerichardson4976 I really like Klonoa too. Freedom Planet overall is my favorite, partially due to the characters themselves, the fun gameplay, cool bosses to fight and stellar OST's. Spark The Electric Jester is also really fun with the beat em up with platforming akin to Sonic. Speaking of which, the Sonic inspiration in both Freedom Planet and Spark is another reason why I love them, partially because of how much I love the Sonic franchise and the positive side of its influence.
"I needed a reason to talk about Spark again" Honestly, I'm glad. A few months ago I JUST got on the Electric Jester hype train, and good lord I've become a big fan. Using an Xbox, I only have Spark 2, but still. Footage of 1 and 3 I've rewatched so many times. Seeing people talk about Spark on my end at least is great. Maybe next time you wanna talk about Spark, discuss your favorite levels? Just an idea.
Im pretty sure a lot of the bigger enemies like Shadow Jester and Friken are a mix of rotoscoping and pre-rendered sprites. Where 3D models are made, then either screencapped with no antialiasing and cleaned up, or traced over to get the angles on mechanical bosses just right. I think he even used those models with touch-ups to create Spark 2 back when he was just experimenting with Unity's 3D aspects. I also love how Dark Claritas feels like a horror story. It's a secret "even eviler" version of the final boss that's literally just called "You Are Not In Control."
Floating point error is also a reference to an actual bug in unity’s code, which when present would cause the same glitch effects seen at the tail end of utopia shelter, the effect is so eerily similar to the glitch that some people actually restarted the level thinking it hadn’t loaded properly.
I’m guessing Freeom MK. 0 won’t just be playable, but is the protagonist of Spark the Electric Jester 4, with you only unlocking the ability to play as Spark once you’ve completed the game
I hadn't seen this video of you until now, great stuff! 👍 It's always nice seeing you on the Spark discord! 😄 ... ... I haven't beaten Deep Dive personally yet :')
I'll be honest, Freom Mk 0 is giving me Mega Man Zero vibes. Yeah, I know he's called Freom Mk 0, but hear me out. Freom Mk 0 being a way stronger version than his previous boss battles, wielding a friggin energy blade of all things and to top it off, he has attacks that would make Omega from Mega Man Zero 3 look like a joke. I don't know if he intended this or not, but hat's off to the developer.
Fun fact btw as someone who is trash at games like really bad i found out that in spark 1 freom in sparks story has checkpoints between each phase which the fark story one has not...so yeah he's a bit harder =:
I always get extatic whenever I see these games get played/talked about! I hope they can come to consoles soon, as for the boss list, mine is the same as yours, except I'd switch the placment of Kaw-Man and Dark Claritas.
i loved spark 1 and 3, but i never played any of the update to 3 i will have to try now! ngl i would love if 4 was another 2D game I think the bosses could be so good.
This looks like a very cool and interesting trilogy of games! It's a real shame that they're not getting Switch ports anytime soon. These games actually deserve ports.
Anybody else think Lakefeperd may be a basketball fan, considering there's a boss fight that could be called Triple Double? Probably reading too much into it, but cool regardless
Oh, also, light epilepsy warning for #9, #8, and #1; all three have full-screen static transition effects.
...oh goodie it's the rematch of freeom in 3
If I had a nickel for every time Freom is the best boss in a Spark game, I would have 3, which is quite the magic number, but it's strange it happened 3 times.
Well his name _is_ Threeom so it makes sense
...meh make it 4.
Fark's might as well be a new boss
One more thing, Spark 2 can be considered as the awkward teenage stage, with 1 being the baby stage and 3 the adult stage.
This series along with Freedom Planet are one or the best underrated gems and truly deserve more love and respect unlike nowadays.
Yeah I agree I really hope 2 launchs for consoles this Month because I am so pumped for it.
Same with Demon Turf

I like Freedom Planet and Spark the Electric Jester. I noticed some fanart of Klonoa with Milla from Freedom Planet.

Top 3 spots: *exists*
Freom: Ahh, I see, it's free real estate.
12:45 YOU ARE NOT IN CONTROL.
benja was like "if i harness the power of levitation i will make the sparks plush spin"

My favourite moment of the Freom fight in Spark 1 was when Spark got the staff and said "it's jestin' time" and started jesting all over those guys
GO GO SPARKING JESTER
MIGHTY JESTIN' SPARKING JESTER
I'm here for friends finding indie games they adore and absorbing into their personality! Nice work!
Floating point error is also a reference to an actual bug in unity’s code, which when present would cause the same glitch effects seen at the tail end of utopia shelter, the effect is so eerily similar to the glitch that some people actually restarted the level thinking it hadn’t loaded properly.
I love how wholesome your voice and personality are in your videos. Also love how well your topics flow from point to point. Good stuff! :D
I'm really hoping Freeom Mk. 0 becomes playable in the eventual sequel.
Same
I’m guessing Freeom MK. 0 won’t just be playable, but is the protagonist of Spark the Electric Jester 4, with you only unlocking the ability to play as Spark once you’ve completed the game
@@superplushtiman7ti075 and what about Fark?
@@sergiomendoza251 unlocked alongside Spark on game completion
@@superplushtiman7ti075 i know he is unlocked in Spark 3 but i think he will be apear in Spark 4.
12:48 "You are not in control."
I hadn't seen this video of you until now, great stuff! 👍
It's always nice seeing you on the Spark discord! 😄
...
...
I haven't beaten Deep Dive personally yet :')
I love the number transitions you made for this video! Also, I got a laugh out of you screaming about the music of the #1 segment.
Cool to see your opinion on these bosses and what your favorites are considering i never thought about it... i also should try endless dive again
Congrats, you made me check out the bosses, mostly for the music, and boy it's great seeing these games getting appreciated
I just like good indie games with passionate developers being talked about
I'll be honest, Freom Mk 0 is giving me Mega Man Zero vibes. Yeah, I know he's called Freom Mk 0, but hear me out.
Freom Mk 0 being a way stronger version than his previous boss battles, wielding a friggin energy blade of all things and to top it off, he has attacks that would make Omega from Mega Man Zero 3 look like a joke.
I don't know if he intended this or not, but hat's off to the developer.
Including Assault Android cactus plus game reference too.😮
Great countdown, chief! Now talk about the Freedom Planet series.
22:53 Aaahhh!
Great video, and yeah, Freom mk0 is an incredible bossfight.
Hope to see Freedom Planet boss ranking on your channel in the future as well.
I love how top 3 is just Freom
Fun fact btw as someone who is trash at games like really bad i found out that in spark 1 freom in sparks story has checkpoints between each phase which the fark story one has not...so yeah he's a bit harder =:
Imagine if SEGA teamed up with Feperd Games to make a Shadow high speed hack n slash hybrid
The Spark series is fun!
worlds strongest spark fan
I always get extatic whenever I see these games get played/talked about! I hope they can come to consoles soon, as for the boss list, mine is the same as yours, except I'd switch the placment of Kaw-Man and Dark Claritas.
I'll happily stan turbo bird for the boss that taught me I can time my parries
Literally the moment I saw this i screamed hell yes Another great video, my man ❤
One thing I'd like is a Switch port of the trilogy.
So…when is Ben talks about Spark music happening?
i loved spark 1 and 3, but i never played any of the update to 3 i will have to try now! ngl i would love if 4 was another 2D game I think the bosses could be so good.
I think my favourite fight has to be the penultimate one of Spark 3.
i think the shadow bosses in spark 1 are pre-rendered from models
So any chance you may do vids like this for Freedom Planet 1&2?
Hm, how very interesting, a very well done list, i wonder what next for this Series?
What would you like to see next?
*looks at list*
Wait, the top 3 is all [REDACTED]?
*said character warps behind me*
Always has been
This looks like a very cool and interesting trilogy of games! It's a real shame that they're not getting Switch ports anytime soon. These games actually deserve ports.
Still waiting for the spark trilogy to come to consoles 💀
Do you think the finale of Spark 3 would've been better had the last two bosses traded places?
It seems that way
Freom sweep
23:39 Ouch. 😥
Float deserved better.
So Clarity is still in control of the simulation.
Got to say, this was quite the list! This was awesome!
Anybody else think Lakefeperd may be a basketball fan, considering there's a boss fight that could be called Triple Double? Probably reading too much into it, but cool regardless
Hope you get 40,000 subs
Can we add like every Fark exculusive fight in Spark 1
*Dont ask about what Romalo was doing in the 1.0 script*
Ok freoms final form in spark 2 literally looks like a villain from dragon ball z
Kaw man si the hardest BOSS i'm the Game, atleast for me
...I wanna play as Freom now. :D
So uhhh, Top 10 Stages? I personally enjoy those far more than the bosses. More people need to gush about levels like Utopia Shelter.
When are you gonna review Pizza Tower yet?
Have nice day man
Is really obvious what boss is the number 1 (or then i said number 0).
Hope Spark 4 goes Open Zone/Open World to further put Sonic Team to Shame once again by being a better Sonic Frontiers than Sonic Frontiers
Spark's creator wen knows that one youtuber made a ranking of is trulogy of games: ¡siiii! ¡SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
