Hi everyone, thanks for checking out WithintheGame.com!
Save the Comet is an arcade style mobile Android game developed by MogaMecha that involves the safe guidance of our heroic protagonist, the comet, through a wide and open galaxy filled with perils from infinity and beyond. You have to use touch screen technology to avoid planets and other astronomical dangers such as asteroids and meteor showers whilst draining their energy and stopping your gravitational field from pulling them into your own destruction.
Within this game the main goal is to absorb stardust from spatial objects, which can then be spent on various upgrades. The controls are fairly simple wherein you cannot actually directly control the movement of your comet, but you can use the forces of gravity to change direction, as well as use your finger to move around all other objects that fly towards you with malevolent haste. It would be nice to see multi-touch where the player could use both thumbs to control several objects at once, just due to the fact that currently the game only allows you to control one object at a time which means a lot of passing by planets and such are missed. Despite this, the game plays very smoothly and is actually really enjoyable due to the fact that you can actually experience progression in regards to the appearance of your character and the functionality of the game.
Save the Comet allows you to either purchase points to spend on customising your character and choosing game enhancing upgrades or just play and save up. There are also many achievements to complete which means that you don’t just get stuck in the same old system of drag and move onwards, you can actually choose challenges to take on and try and beat each one. Naturally you end up completing some of them just by playing the game, but there are several which give a decent level of difficulty for the hardcore gamers out there. It’s also includes really crisp visuals and art. Obviously it’s not next-gen graphics or super-realism or anything like that, however it has got a really clean cartoony feel to it that helps to keep you engaged without totally going overboard.
This game is extremely easy to get addicted to and I believe that children and adults alike will find enjoyment in trying it out. It’s a great little game to have on your mobile and it’s definitely got a good few hours of play time dedicated to it. If you love sci-fi environments, completing achievements and classic arcade Android games then I’m sure you’ll love Save the Comet!
