Some of the coolest props that you may want to add to your custom games will need to be purchased with an in-game currency. The marketplace money can be purchased by shelling over some real world cash or earned by spending more time in the game (either the create or play side). Money earned is slow but we jumped into the game with the $40 Starter Pack and only felt the need to spend currency on one or two irresistible items. If you don't want to spend any real money on the game, you will need to work with just the basics for quite a few hours, but in the long run you'll be able to pick up a few upgrades.","https:\u002F\u002Fgamerant.com\u002F\u002Fproject-spark-review\u002F","2014-10-14","7",70,{"id":65,"author":66,"outlet":69,"summary":74,"review_url":75,"review_date":76,"original_score":77,"normalized_score":49},79741,{"id":67,"name":68},5622,"Jeremy Duff",{"id":70,"logo":71,"name":72,"website_url":73,"score_format":45},59,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGaming-Nexus-Logo.jpg","Gaming Nexus","https:\u002F\u002Fgamingnexus.com\u002F","Project Spark won't have you churning out incredible games like a development powerhouse.

It probably errs on the side of plagiarism too, but Project Spark does a good job at giving credit where credit is due. The “lineage” feature tracks remixes of a level back to its original creator which is a feature that seems simple but one I really appreciate.
