The briefing

About this game

In Cosmic Shock Absorber, time and space are falling apart, and the player takes on the role of the Cosmic Shock Absorber aboard the CZ Neutrozapper fighter.

The mission is to blast through different dimensions of chaos and reach the Interstellar Lake of Protozoic Slime, the source of life itself. However, the fighter is in poor condition, and circuit boards can fail during the journey. Players must leave the action to carry out rapid repairs without the benefit of the missing repair manual.
