Anastronaut Review

Easy on me this is my first review ever!!
I learned about Anastronaut through a friend of mine on twitter. I saw the developer's blog and youtube trailers. I didn't understand at first what I was dealing with, is it a cartoon animation or a game? So I bought it reluctantly.
I installed it on my PC and started playing it. There is an optional settings window to adjust resolution and select graphics and sound devices… I did not do anything with it since the installer knows what's best!

The game begins like most adventure games: New game, restore or quit. I started a new game and the introduction scene plays. An animation clip like a cartoon movie plays then the game begins.
You control a space explorer called Anas (it's the developer's name Anas Abdin) you solve puzzles and go to planets and spaceships… There are different characters in the game that you talk to and interact with. There weren't too complicated dialogues in the game. I didn't come across any bugs or errors in the game.
I loved the atmosphere of the game! The speech and voices are very clean, everything is animated (there are tons of movements and animations for pick up, climb and so on..) and there are many cartoons in the middle here and there. The graphics are very sharp and well painted. Some of the puzzles are so interesting and some are hard (I looked for online help to solve some parts I got stuck on, but the solution was intuitive and I could have guessed it if I thought more!) the controls of the game are like Sierra cursors, inventory and restore/save/quit menus… (in addition, the game comes along with a pdf file explaining how to use the controls in a very friendly way, and the game aspects)
Oh there is a song that pops in the middle of the game! I totally got surprised and I think it is a very lovely reward for completing tasks on a planet! Just sit back and relax a little!
The story of the game is a good one and well written. No spoilers here: The hero is wandering in space for research and study, he finds a small asteroid that has huge gravity. He thinks his ship's radars are broken so he decides to investigate the asteroid by leaving his ship at a distance and approach the asteroid with his spacesuit. When he is collecting a sample of stone from the asteroid someone steals his ship and leave him stuck on the asteroid which he will discover later it is a part of a spacelab. You have to survive and find a way to leave the place and get your ship back through an adventure. I enjoyed the game so much. I love the idea when you had to make the hero grab a metal object so he won't be sucked into space by keep on a click on the mouse and never release it until the danger is gone! Brilliant!
In his blog, the developer is preparing a sequel which looks very nice as well. I am definitely getting it.
In conclusion, I enjoyed the game so much. I love sci-fi adventures and this was a gem I discovered recently. If you like Space Quest then you will like Anastronaut.
thanks for reading!!!!

Ρε φίλε μήπως θα έπρεπε να πεις δυο λόγια στα Αγγλικά να καταλάβει και ο/η Fadia τι συμβαίνει και το review της είναι στο όνομά σου;

Και πάλι καλά έκανες....

Βασικά το έκανα από ένστικτο, καθώς είμαι οπαδός της "διεθνοποίησης" του Advocate. Θα της στείλω κανένα PM, αλλά πιστεύω πως τα παιδία που είναι Admins της σελίδας μπορούν να αλλάξουν το όνομά μου και να βάλουν πάλι το δικό της χωρίς πρόβλημα.

Αυτό θα κάνω. Μακάρι η κοπέλα να νιώσει άνετα και να γίνει θαμώνας, γιατί η αλήθεια είναι ότι ξεκίνησε φορτσάτη κάτι πολύ ευχάριστο.

Τσαμπίκο δεν μπορείς να στείλεις πμ γιατί η fadia δεν υπάρχει...
Με την "επανεκκίνηση" του site έχει σβηστεί ο λογαριασμός της (γράφτηκε προφανώς μετά της 10 Οκτώβρη). Άσε καλύτερα ένα μήνυμα εδώ γιατί μπορεί να ψάχνει τι έγινε ο λογαριασμός της.

Πράγματι, κι εγώ την έψαχνα και τρελάθηκα. Η κακομοίρα θα νομίζει ότι,,,την σουτάραμε εμείς! Ας γράψουμε κάτι...
