Dark Kosmos
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dark Kosmos is a pixel-art arcade space shooter. Pilot a UFO through the stars, dodge meteors, shoot down enemy ships and keep an eye on your fuel — without it, the flight is over. The game was imagined and drawn by a young creator — every ship, meteor and boss started as a drawing on paper. HOW TO PLAY • Drag your finger to steer the UFO and tap FIRE to launch a rocket. • Fuel burns on its own as you fly, and every crash costs you more. A blue canister tops you up a little, a red barrel fills the tank. • Ammo has a price: an ammo pickup gives you +10 rockets but costs one bar of fuel. Want to shoot? Pay with fuel. • Survive every level until the countdown ends. Between levels, bonus stages rain down fuel and ammo. ENEMIES • Fighters that turn towards you. • Battleships — tough as steel, and they shoot back. • Meteor creatures: pink ones drift slowly, spiky ones bounce off the edges of the screen. • At the end of every round, a giant boss battleship. Beat it three times, across three increasingly tough rounds. FOR EVERY PILOT • Three difficulty levels: normal, easy and very easy — where your fuel never runs out. • High scores on your device and Game Center leaderboards, one for each difficulty. • Play in English, Polish or Spanish — pick the language in the menu. • On iPhone and iPad. • No ads and no in-app purchases.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dark Kosmos at none against Carrion's 1. Carrion's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#189 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
