Re: The Martian
Re: The Martian It also has some pretty infuriating bugs. You can't "Fast forward" unless you do it at the precise moment you are offered it, and not after. You can't "Rewind" after death if your last choice was to wait (and not respond). The real-time aspect is not optional; you must sit through breaks, even where, honestly, they add no real suspense or value (Mark is sleeping, meh). Etc. I really want to like this game, but yeah, it feels like more of a publicity stunt with these sorts of issues. Moreover, having played it a bit more, I'd say familiarity with the novel and/or movie was _not_ advised, unless you enjoy reading reams of backgrounder.So in summary: I'll be playing this through, trying to get as much entertainment out of it as possible, and then I'll probably remove it. It's not going to stay a permanent fixture of my home screens.

Re: The Martian
Re: The Martian Not the same developers as the Lifeline series, although it looks like The Martian uses the same engine as those games. So, I picked up The Lifeline series too. Explains a lot concerning accessibility. Glad they are also all accessible.

Re: The Martian
Re: The Martian update: this game is... interesting. that's all I have to say about it. It's accessible, yes. I love how i can play the story, yes. but... i don't know. it doesn't feel so real to me for some reason. maybe because i'm playing as an earthling.

Re: The Martian
Re: The Martian Hi.Seems to be a nice concept, but I think that this might be just a clone of the game LifeLine, a game using similar mechanics. Did someone play LL and this game and can tell what difference is between those two games?

The Martian
The Martian For those who've watched the recently-released "The Martian" (available on iTunes, audiodescribed) or read the (predictably far superior) original novel (also on Audible) by Andy Weir, you'll be glad to know there's an app for that and, as far as I can see, it's accessible. From the quality of the accessibility I'd judge that they made the effort.I have yet to really get down to playing it, but it's one of those captivating, real-time games which mean that you spend more time fiddling with your phone than actually doing anything. You take the place of a NASA communications specialist, and you must direct "The martian" to survive by doing research and supplying the information necessary to bring him home. It uses notifications, and, if you have one, has support for your Apple Watch.

Re: The Martian
Re: The Martian Is it real time as in you only have 20 seconds to respond to a question before it's game over? I would still be interested but if that is the case, I'm sure sometimes by the time you find the correct area of the screen with voice over, it's too late.

Re: The Martian
Re: The Martian Real-time in the sense of being synchronised to some in-game clock that runs in real time, rather than being time-critical. So you get messages at random times during the day, for example.
