  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as enjoyable and accessible, featuring smooth controls and fast-paced levels across five distinct worlds, each with unique enemies and mechanics. However, some players feel that the lack of variety in gameplay elements may limit long-term engagement, despite the core mechanics being fun and easy to learn. Overall, it offers a fun experience for a short duration at a reasonable price.

    • “Game mechanics which make this game easy to learn, but hard to master.”
    • “Fast, exciting levels across five different worlds, each with its own enemies, mechanics, and music.”
    • “The controls are buttery smooth, the gameplay is really nice; I'm thinking of playing this on my YouTube channel.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with players noting that while each of the five worlds features its own unique tracks, the music can be repetitive and lacks variety, often looping after only a few seconds. Some players hope for more dynamic changes in the soundtrack to enhance the overall experience, as the current music is seen as average and somewhat uninspired.

    • “Really enjoying the game so far, I hope the music changes up throughout the different stages though, that would help keep it feeling fresh as you play through.”
    • “[*] fast, exciting levels across five different worlds, each with its own enemies, mechanics, and music (more on that one later)”
    • “Cosmos is a fantastically fast and intense platformer with sharp controls and great retro looks.”
    • “Music is quite repetitive, with the track only lasting a few seconds before looping.”
    • “Cosmos is a fantastically fast and intense platformer with sharp controls and great retro looks, let down slightly by half-baked controller support and average music.”
    • “My only real criticism is the fact the music is meh, big time.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are characterized by a cool retro/arcade style that many players find appealing. While some may initially have concerns, the visuals are functional and tend to become more appreciated over time.

    • “The graphics have a cool retro/arcade game feel that really enhances the experience.”
    • “If you're concerned about the graphics, you don't need to be; they are functional and trust me, they'll grow on you.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game lacks a compelling story, leading to repetitive gameplay that can become monotonous for players who are not interested in speedrunning, as each level primarily involves ascending and defeating enemies.

    • “If you don't want to speedrun, this game probably gets old quickly because there is no story, and every level requires you to go up a bit, kill all enemies, and that's it.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is consistently praised for its excellent optimization, with multiple users highlighting its smooth performance.

    • “Very well optimized.”
    • “Very well optimized.”
