Astro Burn Revamped Into 16-Bit Cute-’Em-Up With New Steam Demo

Player feedback from last year’s demo prompted the shift toward a lighter roguelite focus.

Overview

  • A refreshed demo of Astro Burn is now available to download on Steam.
  • The update expands the game to ten levels and introduces local two-player co-op.
  • New mechanics include additional power-ups such as Catnip Power moves.
  • Beyond the Pixels reworked the project into a 16-bit, character-led cute-’em-up after strong community response to Astro the space cat.
  • The studio plans a Kickstarter for a collectible 16-bit style USB cartridge, with a broader merchandise and cross-media push, and the game is slated to begin launching in Spring 2026 on PC, macOS, mobile, and consoles.
