“GAMES WE MISSED: Banger, arcadey twinstick shmup awesomeness with fantastic music and gameplay. Also quite interesting in its squad-based elements (with 3 AI or local co-op characters).”

TONS OF REPLAYABILITY:


With randomised spawns, multiple characters & multiple routes through the story mode as well as multiple endings and a completely random mode (random mode seriously is random- don't say I didn't warn you!). Crystal comet the video game offers plenty to keep you coming back for more with short replayable gaming sessions.

The story mode is much more standardised than the random mode if random isn't your thing whilst still keeping things spicy.

In Crystal comet you can dominate using all the tools available to you:

- Warp if enemies trap you in a corner across the screen and escape.
- Boost to move faster and grab that power up before it goes off-screen.
- Fire your top gun in any direction.
- Fire your front guns like a normal shmup.
- Each ship also has a special ability - for those sticky situations!
- Drop power-ups for your teammates.
- Repair your teammate's ships!

STORY:


The galaxy is at peace... Suddenly the Crystal comet appears! - An object of great power and wealth corrupting the galaxy causing an all out war across a great many species. A team of unlikely allies forms consisting of the greatest spaceship pilots who ever lived to team up and find the source of the galaxy's corruption. Can they make it to the Crystal Comet in time? Or will they suffer a fate worse than death?

Let's keep this section 'spoiler' free... Good luck out there pilots!
