The Comet Game is a sci-fi action game centered around a mission to intercept Halley’s Comet, which carries alien bacteria threatening Earth. The gameplay is divided into six mini-games simulating different aspects of the mission: defending the ship from incoming missiles, aligning the communication antenna, eliminating bacterial contamination in life support, preparing coffee for the crew, monitoring crew health in suspended animation, and assaulting the comet surface in a first-person shooter sequence. The game features fixed-screen gameplay with simple, colorful graphics and supports single-player mode.
