Comit the Astrodian 3

"Comit the Astrodian 3" is a copy + paste of the previous game in the series (I was alarmed and distressed to find out there's more than one of these), and suffers all the same defects, from the misspelled title down to the broken keyboard controls. Because this is just a copy + paste with some things rearranged, of course the engine problems are the same. When using the keyboard, the same bug is present and you can't move left or right if you're jumping, which renders the game unplayable. I can understand one game not being tested properly, but this is the fourth of these copy + pastes I've had the misfortune to run into. This is a serious problem. Anyway this is a garbage ripoff of Sonic/Mario, only massively worse, and has zero actual value as a serious game for PC gamers. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no option to change the reso…

While I enjoyed the other two games so far in the series, this one takes a huge step back. Levels feel extremely constricted. For a game that lets you jet around 9 times out of 10 you'll hit a wall and are forced to go through incredibly tight platforming areas, and with how fast and somewhat sporadic your character controls you'll die a lot. The pits in these games are a huge problem and I wish they would just be removed entirely in this series- you never know just how far down the levels go until it too late and you die over and over. There's not that many stars to collect. If you die, whatever red stars that you had are gone so you'll have to redo everything just to get a chance at the bonus level again. The achievements are all level and star based which is great, except two which require you to slog through the bonus levels, if you can even get to them.

Level design wasn't there for this one

Comit the Astrodian 3 follows Comit once more, with a new threat emerged, Cosmo Knight. Join Comit once more with his brilliant flying capabilities, this time being accompanied by a friend, Juni, in order to stop this new foe. This game is the hardest in the series yet, testing everything you've learnt from the previous games, in the potential final battle to save the star system... As I loved both 1 and 2, I can once again say, do try this if you enjoyed the originals!
