Most of the game is trying to squeeze into the framework of the player, dictating its terms, it sends to do to get rid of in order to get it. All this is reminiscent of everyday life of each of us in varying degrees - endless race with itself. Sometimes there is an overwhelming desire to get lost in the virtual world, but also here we meet with the same.
Perhaps building on the ideas of this kind, Svedang Eric (Erik Svedang) decided to experiment. Unlike most games, Kometen does not require the player to perform any specific task, just need to move forward and see how the world is changing around.
Play Kometen quite simple. You comet! Sounds a bit unusual, is not it? Now imagine that you need a comet? Of course, in its place you would want to absorb the surrounding objects and rush forward as quickly as possible. Like any other body in the galaxy, a comet impact force of gravity surrounding bodies. In the game, we see something like that, one has only to touch a nearby planet and will get accelerated. Thus jumping from one orbit to another, from planet to planet with a certain rhythm, comets speed will increase.
Guide to the Galaxy game, you can just go slowly and enjoying the different species. All around stretch a string of unusual and usual for space objects. That's right appeared and immediately disappeared spaceship of unknown race, and left Swaying on the waves of starlight toy horse, behind the island was exactly in exactly the clip Gorillaz.
Swallowing plenty of space trash, burn it by yourself and pick up speed of several hundred kilometers per second. In order to move in the right direction, to be marked on the map next wonder of the universe and move to it, alternating between eating with acceleration. So you can move much faster than using the gravity of planets.
About the visual component can only say one thing - it's great! The picture is very beautiful, all the elements are drawn by hand. Colors, effects, shapes, watercolor constitute a single whole. Comet itself changes its face: eating garbage nobody gives pleasant emotions, but a ride on a comet speed hypersonic our love, which is very much the expression of a muzzle flyer. Escorted tour mellifluous melodies that I would have liked to buy on iTunes as an album. In terms of style the game deserves the title "Design of the Year" at least!
It would seem that everything is fine, the game looks compelling, has an interesting mechanic, but the game world is empty. There is no place for the average gamer, he will fall asleep 5-7 minutes Space Odyssey and it is a problem Kometen. The game is not enough events. It does not find the main company's ability to diversify all the gameplay. Kometen like Mafia II - beautiful, but completely empty.

Despite this drawback in Kometen could and should be playing only because of how it is beautiful and unusual. I will reveal all the points on the map while waiting for compensation for the hours of monotonous walk. At the same time, I can not recommend the game to fans of action games and other action at the screen, they can remain dissatisfied with deliberation and relaxing effect. Perhaps, Kometen - this is a game art house, which has never been good enough for the masses.
