FAR BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

Okay, I can’t speak to earlier versions of Comet Lander, but as of 8/17/23, this is absolutely the best lunar lander type game since the original. I would even go so far as to say that it’s better than the original. Great vector style graphics, lots of options, perfect playability, easy to learn and difficult to master. Great fun. My only complaint is that I wish the lander were about 20% larger than it is. Other than that, my thanks to the Devs for making Comet Lander such a great game.

EXCELLENT!

The very definition of easy to play, challenging to master. My only complaint is that the lander is very small. Would’ve liked to have seen this game with a larger ship and landing bases to match. With that said, this is a still a great game that brings back that undeniable rush of nostalgia. Lots of fun. Would be great if the Dev would add a practice level with unlimited fuel but otherwise . . . Excellent work!

Great gameplay and design

My favorite Lunar Lander type game

Nostalgic but repetitive

I was looking for a classic lunar lander type game. This one is quite close, but has some drawbacks.
1. Easy Levels start with the lander right above the pad so you don't have to move sideways much.
2. Once asteroids start flying at you it is quite hard and not as fun since you still have very little fuel.
3. Fuel level and speed are useful, but are represented by a number which makes you take your eyes off the lander to read it and risk crashing. A graphical (bar) representation would be better.

Overall it's somewhat entertaining but not addictive enough for me. Only buy if you're into hard repetitive games.

Response from developer

In the newest version of the app we have added the ability to configure Comet Lander to display speed, fuel and altitude as bar gauges. Also, the game now has easy versions where extra fuel is given per mission. If you have any more feedback or suggestions please do not hesitate to contact us at azul3dapps@gmail.com

Old school fun

I love the simplicity of this game and its retro feel. Perfect for when you need a quick break from life. I only wish the author would give the option to play the harder levels without worrying about fuel. The meteors are a great challenge, but too often you run out of fuel before you can land.

Response from developer

Update 04/08/20 Hi, we have added a new feature to Comet Lander. Comet Lander now has an easy mode. In this mode you get extra fuel in the levels where comet debris appears. Enjoy this new feature. Hi Ghulse, thanks a lot for your feedback, we are very glad you're enjoying Comet Lander. For the next revision we will definitively think about adding an option to be able to play the game without fuel constraints (or a much bigger tank of fuel) and creating a new Leaderboard in GameCenter for this mode. Don't hesitate to contact us at azul3dapps@gmail.com with any other feedback you might have.

These 5 star reviews must be fake.

This is the worst of the Luner Lander games I’ve found on the App Store. There isn’t even an animation to show the thrusters. Pathetic.

Response from developer

UPDATE 10/1/19: Hi John566, thanks for your feedback on thruster animations. We are excited to let you know that we have added an option to make the thrusters visible in a new version of Comet Lander (v 1.7) which is now available in the App Store. In the Main Menu go to Settings. There, you will find a switch, Thrusters Visible, which should enable thruster animations. We really hope this new feature enhances your Comet Lander experience. Let us know what you think and don’t hesitate to contact us at azul3dapps@gmail.com with more feedback. 9/28/19: Hi John566, we are always listening to our customers and appreciate your feedback about thruster visualization. In the design planning phase of the game we went back and forth on adding thruster visualization and decided against it to keep the graphics extremely clean and simple (a design directive). The game does provide thruster sound effects and a glow over the thruster button as feedback when a thruster button is pressed. In future revisions we will definitely think about adding an option to visualize the thrusters. On your comment about reviews, the reviews actually match the feedback we have received from our customers, that the game is fun, easy to learn and control, challenging as you traverse the different levels and really, really, addicting! We really hope you give Comet Lander another chance, but understand if this clean and simple graphics, non-busy, style of game isn’t for you. Thanks for trying Comet Lander anyway and taking the time to review it. If you have any other feedback please contact us at azul3dapps@gmail.com, we would love to hear from you.

Solid and simple

Worth 99cents

Makes me go back to my childhood

This application is simple but yet very entertaining. I LOVE IT.

Even though I play it in my phone, it feels like I am playing in my first computer many years ago!

Games these days are so complicated that it is refreshing to find games like this one.
