Listening to your community is everything in indie game development.
Today, I’m really excited to share a new mode in Astro Burn, you can now choose your play-style right from the start with Story Mode or Arcade Mode.
While Astro Burn is proudly a cute-’em-up, it’s still rooted in the SHMUP genre, and therefore it's important for us to make sure both narrative-driven players and hardcore SHMUP fans feel right at home.
Story Mode is for players who want the full journey - following Astro and AL, following their Wizard of Oz style narrative as the story unfolds.
Arcade Mode, on the other hand, strips it back to pure gameplay, no interruptions, just tight controls, bullet-hell chaos, and chasing those high scores.
Huge thanks to our community for the constant feedback on Discord, it genuinely shapes the game it is today.
So what are you waiting for? Get your paws on the updated demo available.
