Astronaut is a one-button drifter set in space. Hold to rise, release to fall, and weave between the asteroids coming toward you while gathering stars along the way. Simple to control and unforgiving to fly.
Because your only input is vertical, everything depends on reading the gaps early. The asteroids arrive at a fixed rate and there is no braking, so you are always positioning for a gap that is still several moments away rather than reacting to the one in front of you.
Fly with short taps rather than long holds. Steady flight comes from a flutter of brief presses, while big holds send you climbing into whatever is above.
Aim for the middle of gaps. Skimming an edge leaves no margin, and drifting slightly is inevitable when your only control is up and down.
Take the stars that sit in your line. Diverting vertically to grab one usually puts you out of position for the next asteroid, and the score is not worth the crash.
Look ahead, not at yourself. The gaps are visible well before they arrive, and adjusting early is far smoother than a late correction.
One button. Holding makes you rise and releasing makes you fall.
They add to your score alongside the distance you travel.
No, it is an endless flyer. You are beating your own best distance.
Usually from holding too long. Short taps keep you level.
