Comet Busters is a top-down action game released in 1994 for MS-DOS. Developed and published by HAMCO Software, it is a science fiction themed title that supports one to four players.

It includes audio support for sound cards and PC speakers, with optional MIDI music.

Players control a ship viewed from above, navigating a field of space debris. The primary objective is to destroy all comet fragments and rocky obstacles in each stage to progress to the next level. The environment contains hazards such as hostile saucers and alien ships that actively attack the player. Progression is structured through distinct levels, with the core gameplay revolving around maneuvering the ship and using its weapons to clear the area of all destructible objects.

The game offers several modes and player abilities. A tournament mode allows two to four players to compete, with the last ship remaining on a level declared the winner. This mode includes options to alter rock behavior, such as making them bounce, be destroyed upon impact, or be removed entirely. Players have access to four special abilities during gameplay, though the specific functions are determined within the game systems. Visual options include the ability to play in a full screen display at any time.
