Beyond The Pixels and Pixel Doors has officially launched Astro Burn on the Google Play Store. Android gamers get exclusive first access to pilot the space-cat shooter on mobile devices following its 1.0 Steam launch and 150% funded Kickstarter physical campaign. The iOS version is also coming, with a release date to be confirmed soon.
“We decided to launch Android first because we wanted to get this game into mobile players’ hands as quickly as possible without cutting corners,” said HaZ Dulull, founder of Beyond The Pixels, in a press release.
“We spent months tuning touch responsiveness across a huge range of Android device profiles. Android gamers get the exact same crazy weapon combinations, mecha panda battles, and anime power moves that PC players already fell in love with.”
According to a press release, the team rebuilt the touch controls from scratch to guarantee high precision across varying Android screen sizes, refresh rates, and aspect ratios in this complete, uncompromised port with full feature parity:
- Pure Arcade Gaming (Zero Microtransactions): players will enjoy a true premium experience.
- Engineered Touch Controls: Mobile pilots can swipe, dodge laser storms, and unleash Turbo Speed zones using responsive, highly customizable touch layouts designed for mobile screens.
- Stack-’Em-Up Snack Weapons: Players can collect and fire multiple weapon swarms simultaneously, blasting cosmic enemies with flying food treats to defeat giant bosses like PooBear on the Party Bus.
- The Full Emotional Story: Mobile gamers can guide Astro and her robot sidekick, AL, through all 9 subconscious levels to uncover their complete narrative journey.
- Feline & Relaxing Modes: Pet owners can launch Cat TV Mode directly on their Android phones or tablets to keep real-life cats entertained, while tired players can drop into ASMR Mode to recharge with cat purrs and ocean waves.
Android gamers can download Astro Burn directly from the Google Play Store today, while Apple players can stay tuned for upcoming iOS launch announcements.
