If your game looks remotely interesting and costs $5 or less, I will probably buy it. This isn’t a super smart philosophy on my part but at least it is a terrible way to decide on what to purchase. Sometimes, this leads to weird and pointless games. Other times it leads to very weird and pointless games.
But once in a while - when the stars are aligned and I’m not the biggest idiot on Earth - I end up buying something like Cosmic Collapse. It’s the price of a cup of coffee and makes my brain feel like it’s going to the spa.
I’ve been on a bit of a puzzle game kick lately. Part of this is because the fun history lessons in Tetris Forever hooked me back into the genre. Part of this is because the world is currently a boiling Hell and sometimes I need an abstract game that doesn’t remind me of everything I’ve lost. So when I saw both the screenshots of Cosmic Collapse and the price, it was kind of an easy buy.
A puzzle game with planets as the pieces? Sure! For $5 a space-themed game could’ve sucked and I probably would’ve...
