About This Game

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to float free in space? Did you think it would be easy? Do you think you can master zero gravity flight? You can find out in Astronaut Simulator.

Forget pushing endless unknown buttons and enjoy the adventure of just being and astronaut and float free in space. It is hard enough already to get where you want to go.

Experience free flight in Space in this "Manned Maneuvering Unit" simulator across twenty daring missions featuring historical space satellites, stations and probes like the Agena docking target, the Skylab and MIR space stations and the Hubble telescope among others.

Fly to the next waypoint and repair position trying to manage your Oxygen, Fuel and Electricity. Make sure you dock back when finished and don't drift away from the Space Shuttle into Space if you don't want to be lost forever.

-Featuring 20 missions with detailed retro style 3D graphics.
-Atmospheric chatter from real space missions.
-Virtual reality support for OCULUS RIFT DK1
-XBOX 360 controller support.

This is a nice little game. Fans of modern space travel would enjoy having it in their collection. My only criticism of the game is its lack of an Options menu.

Liking the game so far, Gameplay wise is alright but could definitely have more elements to it! Physics/ environment wise is amazing! Really loving the space atmosphere and the "gravity free" feel to it. I think this game would look spectacular with the Oculus Rift. Controls are pretty intuitive and definitely adds challenge to the gameplay! Also I could swear my head is still spinning from all the spins during the game ha! However, as a Sci fi/ space game lover I would love to see more to the game environment (perhaps other shuttles, the ISS, probes, making the ships accessible to the cabin etc, perhaps even stars to really enhance the visuals? Making the environment bigger too would be great especially with such freedom in movements). As for the gameplay, I would love to see perhaps co-op/ multiplayer gameplay because I think team work in this game would add more fun and realism to it. I would also like to see more interactive and different missions, instead of just mostly hoverin...

Quite possibly the biggest waste of $5.99 yet. The controls are terrible and an over all unsatisfactory game play. I would not let the recommended reviews give you a false perspective of the game like they did for me.

Astronaut Simulator is definitely not for everyone. ======= CONS: - Hard to control: takes a LOT of practice; easy to press the wrong key and botch everything. - Frustration level = MAXIMUM OVERLOAD - Looping audio for missions: gets a tad annoying when you have to repeat the mission so many times. PROS: + Good atmosphere: visuals are good, and the aesthetic is on-point + True to life: Using the N2 to control your movement in space is right-on. + Very precise Do I recommend? Well... yes. It's a very good game to give a go at, but I wouldn't say it's for everyone. It can be extremely frustrating trying to get through the very first level (if you can), as you have to really try to control the precise movements of the astronaut. Small movements are important (very few button presses to release N2), and taking your time is crucial. It's very easy to screw up, so make sure you're pressing the right button, or you may go into a panicked frenzy of button pressing that jetisons you of...

1. There are strange triangles flying around / i do not know what this should express but they look weird and definitely need to be removed - game will be looking much better without them/ 2. Textures of space shuttle definitely need to be with higher resolution and better quality as most time you are working around SS as earth and moon look good. I will be desperately waiting for these improvements as this will shift the game one level up and show basic of space physics to other fellow players.

UPDATE!! 6/12/15 I REFUNDED THIS GAME! Please respect my opion. So I checked this game out thinking wow, as a simulator nut freak this looks pretty cool. How I was wrong. I jumped into game with a 360 controller at first thinking "wow has control support nice" The controls on the controler were garbage and uncontrolable. I could barely move with it and only got to one checkpoint in the tut before losing energy and not be able to stop spinning. So I pretty much laughed the game off for awhile untill today, I came to the conclusion to try it again. We'll Let me point this out, The controls are a little better and controlable with a keyboard they're still a bit wacky. I almost finished the tut before running out of energy. I made up my mind to try a mission. I was doing great untill I realized the energy bar is sooooo stupid. It's like trying to keep a charge on a Ipod 1st Gen. The game is relaxing but needs quite a bit of help. If this game had like mechanics where your hands and s...

this game is ok because u know i love space stuff but i kinda wish it had more things to do than just repair stuf. this game also has the motion law that when you move in one way, you keep moving in that dirction unless acted upon another force. That is what makes this game some what relistic and chalengeing. for a $6 game its prety good, i recommend this game to people that like space and to try a new kind of game experince.

A simple little game/simulator that gives you a general idea of a spacewalk outside the space shuttle. For a free game, I was quite impressed with the graphics and gameplay. Very solid. You must travel from one waypoint to the next when directed. As solid as the graphics and gameplay are, there is nothing more then going from one spot to the next. This leads to repetitive gameplay, and can become old quickly. Definitely worth the try, but just don't expect too much variety out of it. It is what it is... A space walk simulator. But an impressive one. Don't take my word for it, and check out my video by clicking on the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBFilKVzLT8&list=PLGCO4EfbVB6XXoAnQMUJjoEh3c2BLfHx8&index=38

I wouldn't reccomend this to a gosh darn monkey. controls are terrible and i couldn't get through the first level DUE to such bad controls. overall: 0/10 waste of storage space.

Yes it works. no crash or flaw right now. You feel a little bit like an astronaut in a simulator. But there can be done a lot more here from the developers: - A hud with information like oxygen and fuel charging level. As well helpers like a gyroscope. You can learn from the game "Lunar Flight". - Resolution of textures are very low, when you come close to the vessels. Quite a pixel show. - Player can't set the resolution at all. - Some more interesting tasks, not only fly to a point and stay there. - The Earth is spinning, when you fly over it with the shuttle in an orbit lower than 36.000 km. The shuttle and MIR were mostly in a lower orbit. - Dialog loop too short, you hear it over and over again. More variety please. I am sorry guys, can't recommend it in this state
