Cosmic Blast

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

Cosmic Blast is one of the games that the game enthusiasts of today just seem to enjoy playing. Just by listening to the name of the game it suggests that the game relates to blasting to win in the game. And rightfully, the concept of the game lies that you are in control of a ship where it is up to you to decide how long the ship and you survive in the game after all the blasting involved in the game.

Being a cosmic game, there are many planets around you which you have to destroy with the help of your ship. The destruction of planets leads to the filling of the energy meter of your ship. So this means that the more planets you manage to destroy, the higher your energy meter soars which is very important in your success in the game. This is because once this energy meter is full, it is possible for you and your ship to withstand larger impacts. In addition to this, you find that your ship engines tend to grow stronger after the destruction of planets.

However, in the meantime, it is important that you work at controlling the game, so that your energy meter does not reach zero at any point of time. This is because once the energy meter reaches zero, it is the end of the game for you. You have to control the ship using arrow keys and the space bar of the keyboard. The movement of the ship is decided with the help of arrow keys while the space bar has to be used to make hits for the destruction of planet.

When hitting planets it is possible for you to shoot only the targets that get defined by the arrow. So you have to keep destroying all targets as they appear one by one. And if you find that your energy meter is getting weaker, your hitting of a planet with low energy will not increase your energy meter level. Instead, it spells the end of the game for you.

Cosmic Blast is a favorite amongst gamers because of its new sounds, bubble like bullets and the ‘plop’ sounds which are emitted on shooting planets. The more planets you can blast, the more satisfaction you get from the game. So make it a point to hit as many planets as possible. The one drawback that has mention of Cosmic Blast is the absence of any statistics of planets destroyed, shooting accuracy or shots fired. You don’t actually get an idea of how you stand in the game. Other than this, there is no reason for you not playing Cosmic Blast to keep yourself entertained.
