Description
"Have you ever wondered if there was an app out there with the soul purpose of nurturing your spirit in the most beautiful way possible? Kometen is a game for the iPhone and iPad that does just this with elegance and grace." – AppDiscover
“This is a remarkable addition to the app store that will separate itself from the crowded offerings of the same old same old with its own style and polish. Taking a seat next to Zen Bound, Kometen utilizes the unique aspects of the device perfectly and will be that app you want to share (show off perhaps?) with friends.” — No dpad

Customer Reviews
My review for Kometen
Kometen is a strange little game. In Kometen you start as new born comet eager to explore the vast and beautiful universe set before you. You will spend most of your time exploring and searching for new unique planets. Everything is beautiful. Your comet, the animations, the fluidity of everything, the clean crisp drawings, the backgrounds, the planets, the food in which you will consume on your journey... everything is so well drawn it truly is like your immersed into an abundance of strange and beautiful pieces of art. Though Kometen is a relatively short experience and there is very little incentive to replay other than to revisit the gorgeous realm you once explored. It's not really fair to consider a game as its more of an experience. Similar to Flower on the PS3. This game is wonderfully relaxing and addictive. There is nothing else like this on the appstore and is definitely worth picking up! The game has an undeniable charm and is begging to be explored.
Verdict-9/10
Kometen
If you came to Kometen looking for an action game that keeps you constantly involved, go ahead and move on. But, if you are looking for interactive artwork, beautiful artwork at that, that prompts you explore space chock-full of planets looking for giant planets that contain incredible paintings. Sound boring? Well it would be if the "game didn't completely engross you. By that I mean while playing you obtain a feeling of relaxation and a zen-like connection to the game. The great music also adds to the experience. You can be playing Kometen and suddenly 2 hours have gone by just like that, just because the you are so in to Kometen. Overall, the artwork and music combined with the stress-free gameplay create an experience that is one of a kind.
Yep, you're right
I kept seeing this app all over the place and was insanely curious about how the reviews could possibly be true... Finally I skipped lunch and bought it, and they are! Totally worth two burritos.
