History

Chaotic Comets began life as a university project in late 2018. Major development is complete as of June 2023, after 5 years of on-and-off work on the project.

The inspirations for this game are Maelstrom and Asterax, space shooter games I've played since I was a child.

Online Multiplayer

Online multiplayer is possible using the third-party tool 'Parsec'.
