Players must solve several puzzles based on space trivia to progress. ReceptionCritical reception for Astronomica has been mixed, with many outlets criticizing its difficulty of game play.[4] Entertainment Weekly rated the game a C+, writing "Ultimately, Astronomica does little more than familiarize players with basic space terms. Despite some sloppy production values (such as the director’s audible ”Action!”), the game does offer a reference encyclopedia and detailed planetary photographs science buffs will appreciate."[5] The Washington Post was also critical of the game, as they felt it was "low-budget programming and design, pure and simple".[6] Computer Shopper was more positive, commenting "with some of the slickest photo-realistic 3-D images around, it's as much a feast for the eyes as for the brain."[7]References1. ^{{cite book|title=The Scientist, Volume 8|date=1994|publisher=Institute for Scientific Information|page=4|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5wkgAQAAMAAJ&q=%22Astronomica%22+Hyper-Quest&dq=%22Astronomica%22+Hyper-Quest&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3eaDVa_qOoKNNrXFgoAI&ved=0CDgQ6AEwBw|accessdate=19 June 2015}} 2. ^[https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/610914-astronomica-the-quest-for-the-edge-of-the-universe/images/1185105 Astronomica: The Quest for the Edge of the Universe – Box Scan], GameSpot, 4 June 2018 3. ^{{cite book|title=Billboard May 13, 1995 (Edutainment)|date=1995|publisher=Billboard|page=94|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vAsEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA94&dq=%22Astronomica%22+Hyper-Quest&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3eaDVa_qOoKNNrXFgoAI&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22Astronomica%22%20Hyper-Quest&f=false|accessdate=19 June 2015}} 4. ^{{cite book|title=Children's Software Revue, Volumes 1-4|date=1993|publisher=Active Learning Associates|page=17|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QgYIAQAAMAAJ&q=%22Astronomica%22+Hyper-Quest&dq=%22Astronomica%22+Hyper-Quest&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3eaDVa_qOoKNNrXFgoAI&ved=0CC0Q6AEwBA|accessdate=19 June 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Neville|first1=Ken|title=Astronomica (review)|url=http://www.ew.com/article/1995/04/14/astronomica-quest-edge-universe|publisher=Entertainment Weekly|accessdate=19 June 2015}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Stolz|first1=Craig|title=The Shock of the Newbie|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-835869.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160415113356/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-835869.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=April 15, 2016|accessdate=19 June 2015|publisher=Washington Post (subscription required)|date=April 26, 1995}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Keizer|first1=Gregg|title=Hot stuff for the holidays.
