[edit] Gameplay
The player controls a spaceship in order to avoid and destroy asteroids. The controls are rotate, thrust and fire. It expands on Meteors by introducing different types of asteroids and enemies, and a limited use camouflage function that allows the player to pass through asteroids and enemies.
[edit] Release
The game was only available on the compilation Play It Again Sam 4, along with Frak!, Spellbinder and either Grand Prix Construction Set (BBC) or Guardian (Electron).[3]
[edit] Reception
Electron User praised the game calling it a "radically improved" game compared to its predecessor, concluding "Cosmic Camouflage is a novel implementation of a classic, and if you enjoyed Meteors you'll love this upgrade". Although individual games weren't given a score, the compilation overall was given a score of 9/10 and awarded "Golden Game" status.[3]
