Cute-em-up full on mode with the latest development update on Astro Burn. Yes that’s a blue cat piloting a mini robot tank! And a giant husky dog in the background wagging its tail, amongst the bullet hell chaos!! Wishlist Astro Burn on Steam. #IndieGame

Players said the Level 1 boss wasn’t big or cool enough, so we took that seriously… and went full flip mode!

Meet our new boss: a giant mecha-riding PANDA. Yes, really. And it’s glorious.
There’s a story behind these oversized animals in space —
Or maybe Astro had way too much Catnip? 😼

Sorry for the quiet spell — things have been craaazy busy in the most meow-tastic way!

I just wanted to drop in and say a HUGE thank you to all of you. Your playtesting, feedback, and constant support have helped shape the next big demo update… and trust me, it’s coming very, very soon.

Itching to smash that release button... but nope! 😸

Gotta hold back and add those final touches of polish so you all get the best demo possible of Astro Burn on Steam tommorow at 3pm UK time.

Can’t wait for you to get your paws on this vertical slice.

One device that I love playing with during breakfast time is @play.date The crank mechanic is such a clever, tactile feature: a unique physical twist that sparks all kinds of gameplay ideas
I’m even toying with the idea of creating a 1-bit version of Astro Burn for it… imagine that! #gamedev

😺 Happy Meow-nday, everyone!

Just got the purr-fect news from Steam — the Astro Burn demo build has been approved and will officially be part of Steam Next Fest this October!

I’m a mix of claw-biting nervous and fur-real excited… but mostly excited!

Making an indie game featuring a sassy space cat pilot means lots of cat puns, even in the @gdevelop.bsky.social code of the game! 😻

Dont forget to go to Steam and wishlist the game ASTRO BURN 🙏
