Cosmos Arena
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
New! Cosmos Arena Mobile!
Cosmos Arena Mobile is now in Open Beta. Currently only single-player on mobile, with multiplayer still in development. Download the Android version, or sign up here to join our TestFlight for the iOS version (coming soon).
Cosmos Arena PC is a local multiplayer action platformer for 1 to 4 players (best played with friends!). The game takes place on a distant alien planet. Play as intergalactic park rangers on a mission to protect the planet and the aliens from a Robot Invasion!
If you encounter controller issues, here are some keyboard controls you can use (these are our internal hotkeys for development, the game is intended for use with controllers):
A -> (A) (for character select and confirm/continue)
Space -> Jump/Boost
Arrow Keys -> Movement
Left Shift -> Shoot (no aim on keyboard)
J -> Skip to next level
This game is in active development! If you don't like playing games with bugs, please wait for our full release :)
Your contribution is greatly appreciated and will help fund the rest of our development. We also welcome your feedback.
Thanks for playing!

Hello, saw your post on Reddit so here's some feedback:
- it be best if you can't enter the arena unless more than 1 player joins
- would suggest pick-ups represent more of what item is supposed to be (seeds to look like seeds, ammo to look like ammo, etc.)
- would be nice to have some sort of gauge to tell how much thrust/fuel character has left and an idea of how long it takes to recharge.
- be great if there are lives you can collect (starting at 3 lives perhaps). I see there's health pick-ups but I can't tell if there's a health gauge.
- would suggest adjusting throw curve for ship parts (shoots way up and is a little weird)
- I can't figure out what the numbers next to my character is and what the purple objects I pick up are
- would be nice to be able to jump further (2-3X more?) Jump is currently not too useful and doesn't replace jet pack well when fuel is out.
I still haven't played multiplayer so I'd like to give you more feedback after I try that! ;)
Thanks for the feedback! These are great suggestions we will ad to our list of things to work on.
Cool, I look forward to the update! ;)
Growing ammo is a neat mechanic. I enjoyed reading about your development process in the dev log!
Thanks! Glad you like it.
