At the beginning of 2016 Microsoft decided to stop further development of the game. On 13th May, the title disappeared from the Xbox Store and Windows Store, and on 12th August the web services allowing for uploading and downloading content created by the community were turned off.

Mechanics

Project Spark is a sandbox project, based on the assumption that creating games can also be a game, and thus a great fun. It is intended to resemble such titles as Populous, Minecraft or Little Big Planet. However, the developers of Project Spark have gone a step further than they did in the hits of the PS3 console, which offers huge possibilities for modeling the game's world. Using the workshop and tools provided by the authors, we design the world of our own game, which we can share with other players. Each of them can modify or expand our ideas, making sure that the universe created by us will change on an ongoing basis.

Examiner: 4 / 5 by Joe McCallister

Project Spark is an inspiration. A wide open toolbox that quite honestly isn't getting the marketing it deserves. A brilliant execution of a tough to perform idea, Team Dakota deserves to be proud of what they've done. While creation isn't everyone's thing, the ability to pick up and play other players creations or the premade campaigns while progressing characters is fantastic.

ZTGD: 7 / 10 by Ken McKown

Project Spark is a fantastic creation tool with some severe growing pains. The complexity will scare off lots of creators, and the customization items locked behind a pay-wall will deter even more. I worry that no one will be creating gems on the system outside of a few dedicated creators. A game like this lives and dies on its community, and I am not sure Project Spark has the legs to keep things interesting for years to come.

Gaming Nexus: 8 / 10 by Jeremy Duff

Project Spark won't have you churning out incredible games like a development powerhouse. It will, however, provide you an accessible set of tools and assets to begin the process of bringing your dream games to life. This won't happen overnight, so plan on spending a lot of time here if you are ever going to make something memorable.
