Appadvice: "The level of detail and realism is extraordinary, and you won't find anything else like it on the App Store" Toucharcade: "I'm going home, There is the Moon, There is North America, Let's aim for South Carolina and hope for the best" Pocketgamer: "Astronaut: Spacewalk is described as "a highly realistic astronaut jetpack simulator" which, let's be honest, sounds cool as hell." iFanzine: "There’s no doubting that Astronaut: Spacewalk is one of the most difficult iOS games to get into, but once you survive the learning phase, you might be surprised at how hooked you are." Modojo: "Astronaut simulator takes players to final frontier" Slidetoplay: "Maybe the realistic-looking iOS simulator Astronaut: SpaceWalk will help inspire tomorrow's private-sector astronauts." Playscifi: "I’d like you all to know that I think it’s a wonderfully authentic game (real spacewalkers may beg to differ), one that is as much as simulation of orbital space manoeuvring as it is a casual zero-gravity obstacle course." The-app-shack: "Astronaut Spacewalk is really less of a game, and more of a challenging experience." Astronaut Spacewalk is a highly realistic astronaut jetpack simulator. Fly the Manned Manouvering Unit from the Space Shuttle cargo bay to several satellites, align into position to make repairs and dock back into the Shuttle. Fly the jetpack in 20 daring missions where you have to rendezvous with different satellites from the smaller TDRS and Solar Maximum, medium sized like the Magellan and Galileo probes, to the big Skylab, Hubble telescope and russian MIR station. Up for a Challenge? Pretty to look at but difficult to master. Flying in space is not like flying a plane. A small wrong movement can send you in a collision path and the stress of how to quickly recover while keeping the valuable electricity and fuel resources. Challenge yourself to master Inertial Flight in space where there is no up or down and there is nowhere to hang on to if you loose control. The difference between life and death is the oxygen in your suit and the nitrogen in your jetpack. It might be beautiful but who said that floating in space was easy? - For a better experience read the "Operation Manual" - Note that the control buttons are not the crosses. The buttons are the empty spaces between the crosses.

It wound up in my top 25 games of last year... Unfortunately, it didn't sell well enough to get the Universal update that the dev was wanting to do... but if you're one of the many people that doesn't have this one yet, it's one that you should seriously consider purchasing.

Xeyad Well-Known Member Jan 31, 2012 303 3 18 #5 Xeyad, Jan 23, 2013 if the developer can guarantee me (right here on this forum) that an update is coming to support the iPad, I will get it right away! I still remember back way in September or somewhere around that he said he is supporting the iPad, but we haven't seen anything from him since. Please, I want to hear a response about an update to the iPad. I so want to get this game, but it'll look so terrible with 2X mode on the iPad. MidianGTX Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2009 3,738 10 38 #6 MidianGTX, Jan 23, 2013 Shame it never really took off, I'd be happier dropping the money on this if I could play on iPad.

It's really hard, and you would have to spend a ton of time with it to even gain a bit of skill at it. I don't have that kind of patience, so I deleted it. mrbiggles Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2012 3,691 0 0 Like retired USA #9 mrbiggles, Jan 23, 2013 agree, was $1.99 before...im sure will see $1 down the road if not free Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #10 Greyskull, Jan 23, 2013 ...and the thing is, I thought 2x mode would look better on the Mini than on my gf's iPad 2, which I would occasionally load iphone games onto (usually when it was a big file and I was low on space, which is most of the time). Nuh Uh. It looks worse because of the higher pixel density. Same reason, I guess, that non-retina ipad games look better on the mini than the 2.

Lately, I bought Deathsmiles and Raystorm, and they are some of my favorite games on hdmi tv. With zoom 4x mode on my tv, it strips alway the borders and keeps the original aspect ratio, so the game looks just like arcade games from the 90s. Attached is Deathsmiles sans many borders.

There's just a little pixelation (less than most games in 2x mode), and it's such a fantastic gameplay experience... You're all really missing out, and it's a damn shame. Capricornman Well-Known Member Dec 8, 2011 2,993 0 0 #13 Capricornman, Jan 24, 2013 I purchased this game when it first came out. I was drawn to the fascinating idea and gameplay. I played but not enough to my liking. The game has remained on my touch but I've been waiting until I get an iPad to reimmerse myself.Because of this threads posting I may not wait and reopen the game and play now This Dev perhaps needs some support so consider getting this game!

MidianGTX Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2009 3,738 10 38 #15 MidianGTX, Jan 24, 2013 I appreciate not everyone has their priorities in the same order, but I'd rather pull out a fingernail than use apps in 2x mode. I only have one iPhone app on my iPad and I'm forced to use it occasionally... and I absolutely hate it.

Now why do devs do that? Now I definitely am not buying it. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
