A 20-minute look into the bleak future of United States space exploration if we continue cutting NASA's budget and failing to educate our citizens in math and science compared to other countries. It's a little-known fact that, during the development of Starlite: Astronaut Rescue, highly intelligent individuals who once helped put man on the moon were forced to simulate having no scientific education. The result is a game with physics that are all wrong and only 20 minutes of plodding, unrealistic content—all they could manage to create under these conditions before giving up. A real eye-opener, and a future none of us want to live in.
Очень слабый "космический" проект хотя бы с точки зрения того, что в названии фигурирует NASA, скорее демо, чем полноценная игра. Проходится максимум за полчаса, фигурирует наличие одного-единственного достижения за прохождение, то есть "идеальная игра" не заставит себя долго ждать (на моей памяти лишь "the plan" была короче этой, так что у Starlite - почётное второе место). Может и поставил бы положительную оценку, если б она была бесплатной, либо более содержательной. В общем сли есть желание быстро получить новую игру в коллекцию стопроцентных или найти за 10 минут потерявшегося в пустых полигонах астронавта - дерзайте, он ждёт вашего спасения!

[h1]Developed in Collaboration with NASA[/h1] Serio eu não sei se eu dou muita risada ou se eu choro ao ler que esse jogo foi desenvolvido em colaboração com a NASA... O pior de tudo é que foi criado pelo pessoal no MIT... Se você tem um sonho de ser um astronauta, NÃO compre esse jogo, pois ao joga-lo seus sonhos serão destruídos e triturados, como em um moedor de carne. Nem podemos chamar isso de jogo, não dura nem 30 minutos.... Os controles são péssimos. Isso não deveria ser vendido, no máximo deveria ser um jogo FREE e ainda deveria ser um DEMO de alguma coisa! O jogo trava e buga tudo a cada minuto, eu tive que recomeçar o jogo umas 5x para finalmente poder ir até o final dele. Pelo menos o jogo é fácil de platinar, basta ir para o fim e pronto.... É claro, isso se você conseguir... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWZfF7bZQW4
The game is toooo short. A fast and easy 100% for those that are achievement hunters. You have several short task and 1 mission in the end.
Did you ever dream of going into space.... becoming an Astronaut and being one of the first people to stop foot on mars? When you were younger did you put on a tin foil helmet, tie a sheet around your neck, and climb piles of dirty clothes pretending you were walking on Mars... If so you were probably super stoked for this game... I never did these things though ..... (shifting my eyes from side to side to hide the fact I'm not being honest)... I figured for less than a dollar I'd grab this game, try it out for the 20 or so minutes that people claimed I'd get from it, pat myself on the back for taking a trip to the red planet and feel joy. Unfortunately that didn't happen, this game glitches like crazy..... the first glitch was the work bench, it wouldn't let me combine the items.... After trying about 1000 different directions I decided to check on line to see what I was doing wrong.... I did nothing wrong the game just didn't want to register that I was crafting.... So I finally get past this glitch and nearly immediately afterward I'm hit with a puzzle.... awesome... I solved the puzzle using the calculator..... sigh... again the game glitches up. It's not the worst thing in the world, but gets kind of annoying that you need to continually restart from the beginning after every glitch.. I can't recommend this game at all, even for .89 cent. It's far too short and bug ridden to be worth a purchase at all. Save your money for something else. The only saving grace is the fact that buying the game will allow you to get it's 1 achievement fairly easily... Is that enough to purchase the game.... well ask yourself if the extention of your e-peen is worth whatever price the game is selling for... I don't personally think it is.
Первый раз вижу демку длительностью 10 минут игрового времени за которую заставляют платить деньги. Абсолютно всё в этой игре безнадежно устарело или недоделано. И графика, и геймплей и даже цифровой бейджик, который должен выдаваться по прохождении уже никто вам не вышлет... Авторы обещали сделать мультиплеерный уровень, но удачно на него забили. Одна из 2 игр на моей памяти, получить все ачивки в которой было настолько просто. 10 минут игры (?) и еще одна идеальная игра у вас в кармане. Единственный, хоть и совсем незначительный плюс.
Woah, well, that was short! Looking over a few of the reviews, there's not a lot I can contribute to this. I was expecting something like TakeOnMars, but what this is, seems to be a short demonstrator for, a generic 'mission'-based physics/maths tutorial for kids, themed around planetary exploration. You're cast in the role of "The Commander" of a two-man crew (but the other dude vanishes halfway through), and have to rescue an astronaut who's crashed on the other side of the hill by figuring out how to get there using some trigonometry... Except Trig's probably a bit too tricky, so all the game has you do is a few divisions on a calculator, and the game pretends to do the trig for you... I can see where they were going with it, and I hope they can clean this up and add some more missions, but I have to say, I can't really recommend it to anyone: The play length is ~5 minutes, if that. All the assets are there: Models, texture maps, voices, a GUI, etc... But it's all rough and unfinished, and given where the pilot 'crashes', I felt I could probably just walk there, rather than go through all the rigmarole of triangulating positions. No, I can't, in my heart, recommend this to anyone, I'm sorry. If you want to play astronaut, play Space Engineers, or TakeOnMars. This looks like a late-90s attempt at a 3d demo / maths tutorial. If it was far more polished, and had a couple of missions, then perhaps I'd give it a thumbs-up, but nobody should really pay money for this, sorry :(
Starlite: Astronaut Rescue Review from Episode 149 of Steam Shots Starlite: Astronaut Rescue is sort of an educational title. It was made with the support of NASA and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, along with a few other supporters. The title is also really short, like 20 minutes short. It feels like a tablet game in the interactive section of a museum. Moving the camera was difficult, and felt more like I should be dragging my finger around, not pointing a mouse. It doesn’t help the cursor wouldn’t stay in my main monitor either, so I couldn’t get it back in the middle to click on things. The gameplay involves doing basic tasks, like go here, click on this and then it explains stuff to you in a really neat way. It also had you do a math problem that I just couldn’t figure out. Thank god I review games, not build rockets. This short title is a neat thing, and it’s still in early access, with a promised multiplayer mode coming out soon along with some more content once they get it all worked out. Hopefully it isn’t like the Mars Mission and set for a timely 2025 release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t4n4Xxqpf8
I played this several months ago, and it was okay. It seems like there should be alot more, but as a very simple space walking sim it was okay. I got it on sale for less than $2US and overpaid. I'd say at retail 3/10 but if it ever went into a bundle so it was less than 50c US then it might be worth the easy 100% achievement.
Starlite: Astronaut Rescue is a 2002 tech demo for... oh wait. Nevermind. It's a "mini-adventure", sporting "Unity Terrain Mars Environment and Shadows, Futuristic advanced rover setting, advanced biosuit space suits, professional voice acting, realistic physics, original story and dialogue; and advanced robotic navigation". Every single one of the aforementioned features are over-exaggerated. This [i]cough[/i] game [i]cough[/i] is what you'd expect from one of those 100 Games on 1 Disc compilations for Windows 95. It's truly awful, but luckily it lasts only 15 minutes. My single positive for this title is that I encountered zero bugs/issues with my short experience. But, bugs/glitches are directly proportional to content, and so this is expected. In your short experience you'll control a rover and a human character. The looking action is awful, and movement is just as bad thanks to really terrible mouse acceleration. It feels as if the player is on ice. This problem is disguised as 'realistic physics'. It's annoying, plain and simple. Jumping and staying in the air for 2 seconds longer, and walking with longer strides is realistic physics. Not releasing the W key and waiting 2 more seconds for your character to come to a halt. Eugh. The story is a generic rescue mission, which is outlined in the title of the game. Going along as usual, someone had an accident, you have to find them by completing abstract tasks and finally you're rewarded by landing back at square one. There are a grand total of [b]three[/b] 6th grade maths problems that need to be solved, a 30 seconds crafting bit (with a cluttered interface) and then a short driving and positioning part with a rover. Oh and someone said some words at one point. Avoid.
