"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

Pros and cons of Kometen app for iPhone and iPad

Kometen app good for

Excellent game experience. I love the feeling that comes out of it. No losing, no stress, just peaceful exploring and good music. More of the same please!
Perhaps more of an experience than a game, but better than 99.9% of whats available on iphone... Beautiful hand-drawn graphics, excellent animation, good controls, nice music, and a result thats more immersive than you would first think. There are no highscores, no levels to complete. Its about pleasure, not pressure :).
Un jeu dune beauté inegalee sur iPhone, un gameplay simple, zéro stress une musique envoutante. Un vrai bijou. Made my girlfriend almost cry, she said: this game created a strange feeling of peace a love. Thanks, really ;)
Simple and elegant, treads the interesting interstices between art and game.
Ive been waiting almost a month to pick this up. Even more awesome than I was expecting.
I dont understand what to do but its just soo amazing It dosent even matter.

Some bad moments

It is frustrating, it is hardly a game, the image is awsome but there is no gameplay or goals... Essential is missing guys
This game is totally dull! It looks great in the preview but theres nothing to do! and you see everything it has to offer IN the preview... it should be free. I regret it deeply :(
Super boring game. Feels like the 60s... Maybe you have to be in that vibe to get it...
Sure, its an experience, but one hell of a boring one. not downloading these pretentous artsy fartsy games anymore, incredibly lame.
If you were sent here by apple genius, dont believe it, or these other reviews. If the Dev didnt write those reviews himself, he has lucked in to finding 5 people who get a thrill watching grass grow. I saw the pics, read the reviews and thought of Nights for the Sega Saturn. This is NOTHING like Nights. Boring art, boring music, repetitive pointless gameplay! 3 bucks for less than 3 minutes of tedious gaming? Youre welcome.
This game is boring. The developers need to make some kind of highscore mode. I only gave two stars for the art
