About This Game



Lonely Astronaut is a one-button arcade game in which you pilot the corpse of a long-abandoned astronaut floating in a cosmic graveyard. In the process, you might find out something about the human condition. But probably not.

Features:

  • Pilot a Corpse with a Single Button: With only the ability to thrust the Astronaut's body around with its malfunctioning jetpack, Lonely Astronaut is easy to pick up and play weep.
  • Discover Cosmic Truths: The wonders of space will reveal themselves to you as you play. If only you were alive to see these truths unfold.
  • Unlock Skulls: Play dress-up with your corpse because that's healthy, and discover their unique properties.
  • Feel Existential Dread: Here's a friendly reminder that you and I are all going to die someday, probably sooner than we'd like to think.

Lonely Astronaut offers a surprisingly fun and nuanced control system where timing is everything. It truly has everything I want in a game. Interesting mechanics, space, dead things, and a deep rooting parable for my own loose footed mortality and the cycle of life. I definitely feel my existential value increasing when I play this game.

A simple game that you feel like you can master within seconds. And then you die. And you die again. And you continue dying. And you love it but hate it.

Lots of extra options to have some fun with. [b]Cons:[/b] Won't last you too long. Some unfair mechanics. Controls could use a little more customization. Overall, I reccomend it based on the price point. Just be prepared to have an immense hatred of asteroids when it's all said and done.

It's a fun one button game with a good soundtrack. It's all about patience. Like the description says, maybe you will learn something about human condition, or maybe not, it's up to you.
