Save The Astronaut

TBH, I'm not into sidescrollers, nor am I particularly into 80's nostalgia gaming, although I have been playing since the days of Adventure and Pong. However, I saw what you wrote on a Josh Strife-Hayes video about putting your heart into your game, and it struck a chord with me. I wanted to give you a bit of exposure and a little bit of money for your time. Good luck and I hope Open Maw is successful in whatever direction you go.

[quote] [url=store.steampowered.com/curator/11769719-Dreams-of-Genesis/] А тут можно найти ещё множество интересных обзоров :3 [/url] [/quote] [h1] [i] Кислорода.. не хватает...[/i] [/h1] "В этой игре собрались воедино восьмибитный стиль и космос. так почему бы не попробовать?" - подумалось мне. Нельзя сказать, что я прогадала, но всё-таки будет лучше, если у вас будут прямые руки - так нервы останутся целее. В целом, [b]Save the astronaut[/b] максимально лаконична и проходится за час с кривыми руками, с прямыми, думаю, будет гораздо быстрее. Сюжет простенький, это скорее не сюжет, а антураж - весь смысл будет сводиться к тому, чтобы добраться из точки А в точку В, как на старых-добрых денди. Поправкой будет только постоянно заканчивающийся кислород. Знакомые с детства визуальный стиль и звуки, заставляющие временами попотеть уровни и достаточно короткое время прохождения, чтобы не наскучить, - и в итоге получаем неплохой вариант провести вечер за коротенькой приятной игрой. [h1] [i] Общее впечатление [/i] [/h1] Любителю поностальгировать в восьмибитные игрушки стоит присмотреться к этой игре, но исключительно по распродаже - всё-таки, 60 рубликов многовато. В остальном приятная игруля. Зачем там UE4 для меня загадка, потому что комп от этого не сильно, да греется, но один час такую неприятность потерпеть можно :) [b]Плюсы[/b]: + лаконичная приятная игра; + субъективно - я так люблю эти восьмибитные звуки х3 [b]Минусы[/b]: - 15 рублей - красная цена. [b]Итог[/b]: можно поиграть, чтобы скоротать вечер, разумеется, не рассчитывая на супер-увлекательные сюжет и геймплей. [i]Кому понравится:[/i] тем, кто очень соскучился по денди.

I'ts a nice 40min challenge in a "old computer" style game ( remembered me of the old Sierra Games) and i love it! This game has simple and responsive controls on the keyboard and that is great! It has a mechanic of oxygen and buttons to open places and it's a simple and fun game with a basic story but that's not bad at all. Of course supporting this indie company is the best part of it and i hope to see more of them in the future!

Being someone who knows the creator of this game, this was there 1st game ever made. And it's a nice 1st game and it's got that classic NES vibe if not possibly an older console or something along those lines. The game is a challenging & fast paced type of experience if you're into a good challenge kinda game. I like how there's no lives system, so you don't have to worry about getting a game over all the time on difficult sections. The price is not high either with it just being a couple bucks. Without a doubt a nice little game to play if you're feeling nostalgic for the good ol' days of gaming. I'm proud of my friend being able to create a fun little game to play, and i look forward to seeing where this game and he goes from here on out in the future. The only thing i will say that is a bit of a downer, not that it's bad or anything is that. Since it's made on the Unreal Engine, it can be very demanding for performance at times. So just a little heads up for those who have computers who might not be the strongest in the world. But overall though, i recommend this game for the classic vibe of the old school gamers who still love the classics

Short and sweet throwback to old school PC platformers

Such an amazing game from an unknown developer! The asking price should honestly be around atleast $5, $2 is a steal for this hidden gem! I really loved the NES vibes. The game is fast paced, rewarding, and challenging! I actually find myself coming back to it time and time again! If you're reading this review you need to give this game a chance, it took me about 40 minutes to beat it! This is one of my all time favorite indie games, and i can't wait for a sequel!

Small game in the style of NES games. Graphics, sounds and feel of hard difficulty are there, but tedium of trying to complete a level many times isn't. There's even [spoiler]a way to die without losing progress[/spoiler]. Exploring levels, figuring how to advance and wondering what happens next brings joy, and everything is cleverly designed so that "10 seconds" timer doesn't stand on the way of exploration and doesn't force to speedrun everything without properly examining locations. These days with so many games to play it's hard to find time to complete something long, and that turns short length into advantage, since it's an easy way to finally get that "I finally completed another game" feeling.

Small NES-style game that has a pretty neat mechanic to it. The difficulty curve is well-done - even for someone who isn't too good at platformers, I did feel like the increase in complexity was smooth and I had just enough time to learn and adapt. The graphic style stays true to the 80s style gaming but the controls feel good. Save the Astronaut offers quite a lot of fun for such a low price.

Very hard game, could not get past lvl 8 after multiple attempts. there is a delay when jumping which makes certain levels artificially hard. You cannot rebind gamepad keys and the use of X on the controller feels wrong and should have been B IMHO. Is it worth the money, sure i guess to the right kind of player who is looking for a meat-boy style of game.

Save the Astronaut is a great little platformer with some interesting mechanics that separate it from some other platforming games. There is an oxygen mechanic that you have to keep up with as well as bouncing and gathering 'stars'. This adds a sense of urgency to the proceedings. The art style is very basic, but the game is fast paced and fun so it all works out. The only thing I found was that it sometimes wasn't that clear as to what was going on, there were buttons I was supposed to press and I didn't recognise them as what they were. I haven't played a platformer for a while so maybe it's me. Looking back once I knew what they were it seemed to be fairly obvious. Again, an entertaining platformer that gives an extra challenge to many of it's cousins.
