A storyline soon forgotten, but a game to remember!

User Rating: 7.5 | Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure PC
After reminiscing about my childhood gaming experiences last year, I attempted to download Cosmo from DosGames and was richly rewarded. My childhood tastes were right on.

Cosmo is an alien stuck on a foreign planet...and that's just about all you need to know. The 2D platformer throws you through colorfully built alien worlds stocked with flailing green angry-headed plants, rolling purple enemies that drop from the sky using parachutes, and plenty of cool-looking fruits and gems to hike up your score.

Though the gameplay is somewhat similar throughout the many levels, the experience is surprisingly long and the platforming startlingly fun. The graphics are effective and you will inevitably find yourself both perplexed and impressed with the creature designs. In addition, the bonus levels add an interesting and pleasurable breakup from the story.

If you are looking for a deep game, search elsewhere. But if you want to have some fun (at no cost!), give Cosmo and his toilet-plunger hands a try. You won't regret it.
