Astral Defender Is Live

Astral Defender is live.

It's a vertical shooter, but it's also the door to something bigger. For the past three years we've been building an original universe behind the scenes. This game serves as a prequel, set generations before the story we actually want to tell. We wanted to start small and build outward, and this is that first step.

UI elements, some star assets, and background art are courtesy of CraftPix.net and Kenney.nl. All other pixel art was created in-house.

This is very much a work in progress, and we'd love your honest thoughts on any bugs, confusing bits, things that felt good, things that felt bad, or anything else. Feedback genuinely shapes what we build next, and it means a lot to have people actually play something we made.

We're also working on getting this onto mobile. Thank you for giving it a shot. It means more than you know.
