Played this in the arcade when I was really little

I think the creator of the game kept the old-school feeling, but made it fresh and new by going on missions good job

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
