Oddsparks is an automation/strategy hybrid that invites players to embark on an enchanting journey through a strange fantasy realm filled with oddities and adorability.

Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure is a blend of Automation and Real Time Strategy for both the die-hard fans of the Automation genre and the Automation-curious. Explore a strange fantasy world, uncover the mysteries of the past, automate your workshops, and go on adventures with your odd & adorable Sparks!

In Oddsparks, players will unleash their creativity as they design, decorate, build, and automate workshops alongside their peculiar companions, the Sparks. These cute little critters are a delight to behold and integral to the game's unique blend of automation and real-time strategy.

Oddsparks is a great entry point into autmation games but with a fresh spin for those who’ve already played thousands of hours in the genre. You’ll design automated workshops and put your Sparks to work in carrying and crafting everything you could need - including more Sparks! Without conveyor belts, you'll have to manage the Spark traffic to optimize your designs. Use your wide toolbox of options to solve the logistics puzzles you'll face as you tackle distance and elevation.

Take your Sparks for an adventure into procedurally generated worlds! Face unusual enemies like Spunnies and Beelephants as you explore diverse and distinct biomes. Find resources amidst forgotten ruins. Clear up the way to build and connect your workshops. Bring your newfound knowledge home. Help your cozy village grow, share with, and learn from the folks you’ve grown up with. With this new technology and the secrets of the past, what changes will you spark in the world around you?

With its accessible gameplay, charming visuals, and heartwarming narrative, Oddsparks is sure to spark joy in players of all ages! Don't miss out on the fun - Join the Early Access of Oddsparks on Steam and the Epic Game Store today and help us shape the game as we embark on this whimsical adventure together!


Dive into a world of whimsy and wonder as Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure is now available through Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store and will remain so for about a year.

"We're thrilled to open the doors to Oddsparks finally and invite players to experience the joy of building, exploring, and adventuring with their Sparks. Whether you're a seasoned automation enthusiast or new to the genre, Oddsparks offers something special for everyone," said Robert Schneider, Technical Director at Massive Miniteam.

“The game contains your home village and two procedurally generated biomes to explore. The core mechanics of gathering, building, automating, and fighting are in the game. You progress through the game via quests received from fellow villagers and ruins out in the world, all to unlock new buildings and Sparks to solve both distance and elevation logistics gameplay. You can play both in single-player and multiplayer, with mouse and keyboard or gamepad.”

“While improving the game's core mechanics, we also want to increase the scope in many ways. This means more biomes, resources, Sparks, buildings, and quests.”

During the last Steam Next Fest players got the chance to experience the game systems and most of all the adorable Sparks firsthand, and have enjoyed their time with Oddsparks, helping our game rank among the 50 most-played demos.
