About Lonely Astronaut


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 is a very small arcade game with a pretty ridiculous idea behind it. I am controlling the corpse of a long abandoned astronaut floating around a cosmic graveyard, and I only have one button to control the broken jetpack. That is basically the entire foundation of the game, but I actually think the simplicity works well here. I am not learning complicated controls or dealing with a huge amount of systems. I am just trying to keep this dead astronaut moving through space without crashing into everything around me. The movement is what makes it fun for me. Pressing the button gives the astronaut a burst of thrust, but I still have to deal with the momentum and direction I am already moving in. It sounds easy until I am surrounded by objects and realise I have pushed myself into a terrible position. I have to get used to making small adjustments rather than constantly holding the button down. Once I start understanding the movement, I can get into a nice rhythm where I am carefully steering through the environment and trying to stay alive for as long as possible. I also like the strange atmosphere. The whole idea of flying a dead astronaut through space could have ju…

When you, like me, are a kosmonaut corpse floating in space, you have time for games like these.

This game is very easy to recommend. It is a great way to kill some time and at this price point I can't fault it. [b]FULL VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_0kewMLM0E[/b]

Игра 'Lonely Astronaut' – это настоящее погружение в тишину и величие космоса, где каждый шаг, каждый вздох отзывается эхом в пустоте. Разработчики с удивительной точностью передали ощущение полной изоляции, заставляя игрока чувствовать себя крошечной частицей в необъятной вселенной. Атмосфера здесь – это отдельный персонаж: завораживающая, немного пугающая, но при этом бесконечно притягательная. Графика, хоть и не кричит о себе технологичностью, обладает своим неповторимым стилем, который идеально дополняет гнетущее, но в то же время медитативное настроение. Управление интуитивно понятно, что позволяет полностью сосредоточиться на исследовании и разгадке тайн, которые скрывает безмолвный космос. Это не просто игра, это опыт, заставляющий задуматься о своем месте в мире и бесконечности бытия.
