In Astro Burn, you play as Astro — a daredevil feline astronaut strapped into a high-powered jetpack — and her trusty robot sidekick AL as they return from a deep-space mission to discover Earth has been overtaken by colossal, cute-but-chaotic overlord animals… and not a single human in sight.
Armed with outrageous weapon combos, a rocket-fuelled jetpack, and purrfectly tuned reflexes, you’ll blast through absurd bullet-hell swarms, dodge rainbow-coloured laser storms, and face off against giant cosmic creatures who rule the galaxy with an aggressively adorable iron paw.
Expect screen-filling mecha pandas, hyperactive huskies wagging up solar vortexes, opera-singing space squids, and celestial goldfish launching star-shaped projectiles — all delivered with the wonderfully unhinged, anything-goes spirit of the 90s arcade classics.
This is cute-em-up chaos dialled to MAX — a nostalgic side-scrolling shooter inspired by 16-bit arcade madness, reborn with modern pixel art, tight controls, and over-the-top personality.
It’s retro mayhem with a cosmic wink: giant animal bosses, unhinged bullet patterns, cosmic comedy, and jetpack-fuelled heroics all wrapped into one delightfully chaotic adventure.
