Cosmos Bit

Liked: - Solid core mechanics - Solid sense of progression - Good length for its complexity Disliked: - Bosses were underwhelming - Lack of exploration

The sequal renders it redundant in every way and it's just kind of boring. Also the hardest part is the beginnig of the game which is just silly

Paid $0.69 for this game, and still wanted a refund.

Intricate little metroidvania

Muy buen juego, corto pero entretenido

"Cosmos Bit" is a nice and short metroidvania by the retro-duo SEEP, where you control the space soldier Stella on her mission to save a scientist team on an alien planet. The whole ordeal is a little run-of-the-mill and can be completed in a bit more than an hour, but has it's charms. The screen transition can be somewhat awkward, because you spawn at a fixed spot and the bosses are a bit samey gameplaywise but other than that is is quite a bite-sized experience. Music is solid and spheric, it does not overstay it's welcome! For under a buck, I had my fun and will probably try out the second game in the series!

ファミコン時代を思い出すグラフィックに懐かしさを感じて購入。 アイテムを見つけたら行動範囲が広がるがワープがなくても移動が苦にならないぐらいの広さで丁度いい。 攻撃ボタン押しっぱなしで連射してくれるの最高！

Super fun metroidvania that isn't very long but definitely scratches the itch, some of the section are kinda long between save points but nothing that can't be passed after a few good tries!

Solid little game, I enjoyed the custom pixelart. It comes off as a metroid-clone in the best kind of way.

[i]Originally posted on [url=https://www.dragon-quill.net/quick-reviews-15/]Dragon Quill.[/url] Comments are enabled there.[/i] This is barely a Metroidvania. There are no secret rooms, and after the second area it basically gives up and just becomes a linear action platformer. About the only notable thing is that the game is very grindy; there are three types of currency and you need large amounts of each to purchase anything, but as far as I can tell it’s completely random which type drops from objects, so it’s very common to simply not have the right currency just due to bad luck. This is made worse by the fact that instead of health and ammo upgrades being found while exploring, they’re all purchased from save stations, and on top of that, you have to [i]pay to save[/i]. The combat is also trivialized by the bombs, which can easily kill every boss except the last one without even exhausting your supply.
