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.
Reviews
Please fix crash

I would love to play however the crash at the first screen happens every time I start the game even after a system update and 2 re-download attempts. $4 may not seem like a lot but it is still money paid for a broken game. Please fix the issue soon and I will change my rating to what looks like a 5 (again if I could play it).
Great game

Number one- if your gonna take the time to review a game, at least review it once you get it to work. Number two- yeah the controls are hard, takes a few minutes of spinning in circles to figure it out lol. Three- great concept, great game, but its a little repetitive. I would like to see more animation in the astronaut. He just kinda hangs there motionless. Good soundtrack too! Gets me a little more into it! Update!! Please!!
Realistically tough physics

Like I expected the controls take a bit to get used and short bursts of thrust cause the astronaut and MMU to drift continuously. This was for me refreshingly realistic. The graphics are good and really give a sense of being in orbit. There are two thing I haven't enjoyed. One is the way the camera bobs and floats around leaving you basically ignoring the nice graphics and having to rely on looking at the tiny orientation indicator showing the next waypoint. The other is the high rate of O2 consumption. Nothing astronauts do is fast or reckless. I expected to have methodical missions with tight precise flying required that might take a while to complete and leave me low on fuel or power. Instead making a few minor mistakes costs precious air and I was left frustrated trying to dock with 1% O2 remaining twice on the first mission. I haven't picked it back up since. Took a chance on something different but I wouldn't recommend it for $3.99.
Horrendous

I want my $4 back. This game is not worth that kind of money. $.99 I would say try it but not at $3.99

This is a really really great sim game. I would recommend this to anyone that is interested in space. It looks great and controls perfect. You just have to mess around with the controls a bit to see how they work and what they do , then you'll be floating around in zero gravity like a pro. I'd like to say great job to the team behind the game. They did an excellent job. I'm excited for the iPad version to come out.
