Save The Astronaut

Save The Astronaut is a retro-inspired platforming adventure developed and published by Open Maw Productions that focuses on delivering a simple yet engaging survival challenge. The game places players in the role of Bill, an experienced astronaut whose mission takes a disastrous turn when his spacecraft crashes on a frozen and isolated alien planet. With limited oxygen remaining and no immediate rescue in sight, Bill’s only chance of survival is to navigate the dangerous environment, locate his emergency beacon, and activate it before time runs out.

Save the Astronaut is equally fun as it is hard! give it a try if youre up for a nice challenge and some charming retro graphics!

A compelling, harrowing tale of survival! Story is worth it just for Big John. One does wonder why retractable and spinning rock contraptions are everyone on this planet. /shrug

Cool game. Very good value for the price.

This game has a demo, a very cheap price and a straightforward description. I literally can't do any better, but I'll give this review anyways because metrics and because I want to tell the dev they did a great job. They chose a solid gameplay loop, built on it, delivered, priced it accordingly to its value for the consumer and even released a demo. This kind of pro-consumer philosophy deserves to be lauded and it's cemented OMP as ones to look for.
