Cosmic Leap

Cosmic Leap + Play through 100 small levels that will test your reaction skills Time your jumps from planet to planet, avoid the obstacles thrown in your path and blast off to safety with your rocketship!

Cosmic Leap is a great little adventure game whose voxel art approach to graphics and arcade-type sounds give it a retro feeling. Essentially, we move (jump) from one planet to another only to reach our spaceship. Along the way we can collect coins and if you are quick enough you can also jump into another rocket ship! You can collect characters beside the different spaceships. It's all about timing your jumps carefully; it's one of those games that requires some patience on your end but it's well worth the trouble. I checked the developer's website and video games are not his major profile but are rather considered "sideline projects". Have fun and blast away!

I am writing this review after "only" 50 minutes of playtime. "Only", because this is a very fast game, where levels should be finished in under 10 seconds sometimes. So 50 minutes is a looong time for playing this game and feels like 5 hours or so. Whether you are looking for a few minutes of distraction or want to try a speedrun after mastering all levels forth and back, this game is well worth its small price. Pro: - Each level is more or less easy to win, but hard to nearly impossible to master - I like the school grade measuring system for level success. Makes you want to try it "only one more time" ;-) - the retro-modern, cathode-ray tube, 8-Bit, pseudo-3D graphics - Support! The game creator/programmer was able to help me with a specific technical issue within hours. Double plus LIKE! Neutral: - the storyline. Not every game must have one. This one fits into the overall game look and feel, but I would not have missed it if it did not have one. Cons: - when playing for a whil...

So logan bought the game and played for like a minute, then died, tried again but failed, closed it and died in real life by falling off of Earth. It was good.

This game is so easy and colorful. Nice planets theme artwork too.

The controls suck. It's a crapshoot whether you'll stop, move clockwise, or move counterclockwise. And this is one of those games that requires precise timing of controls. So that's kind of a big deal. The tougher levels just give you more obstacles and less time to react to them, and a single mistake means restarting the level. So it feels less like skillful maneuvering and more like memorizing which buttons to press at which time. More frustrating than fun, IMO. It's also really short, but that's understandable at this price point.

This game is extremely fun! and has a cool concept! i havent beaten it, or come close to beating it, but i love it allready! its a really awesome game for being 2 dollars, and is extremely fun in general. i highly reccomend this, and i hope to see it get even better within the future!

Cosmic Leap is a rather shallow game that feels more like a demo than a serious entry in the PC gaming marketplace. It's basically one of those action/timing games where you jump between circles, although this one has been rendered (badly) with minimalist low poly "voxel" style presentation... just lipstick on the pig for that, but at least enough effort went in to make it clear this isn't just an asset flip, so that's something. Anyway you run around these "spheres" (might as well be circles because you only run around a fixed longitude) and jump to the next circle, avoiding any obstacles by reversing the direction of your running (so it's a 3 button game.. sigh). That's all there is to it, I've seen this in a dozen or more mobile apps, making it unclear why this is on Steam at all. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features lazy minimalist/untextured low-polygon "retro" assets and visua...

Cosmic Leap's simplistic approach and minimalistic graphics are interspersed with varied, fun character designs and levels which often change up the base gameplay. For example, on one set of planets warp points are scattered throughout the level, which you have to jump into to hop out of on the other side before running into spikes which will kill you, while on another set of levels you control [spoiler]two characters simultaneously and must get both to safety in the escaping rocketship located[/spoiler] somewhere else in the level. Cosmic Leap's controls definitely take some getting used to, however I didn't find them as cumbersome as many others in the review section. That being said, I used a controller (Xbox One USB) as the game recommends. The game's simple, initial mechanic of "rotate around a planet and time your stopping and jumping to progress" is pretty straightforward. Your character continues to move forward clockwise (or counter-clockwise) around whatever celestial bo...
