Here is everything new in the latest version of Astro Burn!

📺 New Feature: Cat TV Mode

A game starring a space cat simply had to include something for real-life cats too!

Introducing Cat TV Mode!

Now you can take a quick break from blasting through the galaxy and let your feline friend enjoy three dedicated channels designed specifically to keep them entertained. Sit back, relax, and watch your cat become the newest Astro Burn player! 🐈‍⬛

New Feature: ASMR Mode

Need a break from the intense, bonkers bullet-hell action?

Our new ASMR Mode lets you unwind with a collection of deeply relaxing ambient soundscapes. Pop on your headphones, close your eyes, and recharge your batteries with peaceful audio moments including:

  • Gentle waves rolling onto the shore

  • Soft winds drifting high above the clouds

  • A cosy morning at home with the comforting sound of a cat purring 🐾

Sometimes, it is just nice to sit back and relax.

The Journey Concludes: New Levels 8 & 9!

The adventure continues! Levels 8 and 9 are now officially available to play.

If you are progressing through Story Mode, you will finally reach the epic conclusion of Astro and AL’s journey.

We won’t spoil anything here... but expect a few emotional surprises along the way!

Updates, Polish & Flying Snacks!

We have continued refining the gameplay experience across the board to make the game feel better than ever:

  • Cinematic TransitionsAdded smooth fade-in and fade-out transitions between levels for a much more polished feel.
  • Cutest Kitten Rescues: Enhanced the Kitten Save animation with popping bubbles and floating hearts appearing as each rescued kitten thanks you.

  • More LocalisationAdded additional text translations that were missed in our previous major language update.
  • Classic Arcade Leaderboards: The High Score table now includes a retro-style dummy leaderboard so it never feels empty on your first playthrough—just like the arcade cabinets we all grew up playing!

  • Delicious Projectiles: We swapped out the standard bullet projectiles for flying food! Let’s be honest... Astro the space cat only has one thing on her mind: snacks! Not only does this perfectly suit Astro’s personality, but it leans even further into the game’s cute-’em-up charm. After all, why fire boring bullets when you can defeat your enemies with flying treats?

As always, a massive thank you for all your incredible feedback and support throughout Early Access. Every single update brings Astro Burn one step closer to the ultimate experience we have always dreamed of creating, and we are absolutely thrilled to have you on this journey with us.

Turn on the Cat TV, sharpen your claws, and we will see you among the stars!

The Astro Burn Team
