All events Players around this date Read on Steam

Still buzzing from an absolutely incredible weekend at TwitchCon, I woke up this morning to some mind-blowing news. Astro Burn has been featured on IGN Live!

Not only is our space kitty part of the main IGN Live event on June 6th–7th, but we are also featured right on the official IGN Live Steam page!

As an indie developer, this is a massive milestone for both Beyond The Pixels® and our awesome publisher Pixel Doors.

From a Passion Project to the Big Leagues

I am honestly overwhelmed by the response our little Cute-em-up has received. What started as a passion project inspired by the retro games I grew up loving has grown into something far bigger.

That is all thanks to YOU. Our amazing community continues to support, encourage, and challenge us to make Astro Burn better every single day during Early Access.

A Massive Thank You!

To everyone who has:

Played the game and shared it with friends
Left feedback and posted Steam reviews
Backed our ongoing Kickstarter campaign
Or simply cheered us on from the sidelines

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are helping shape Astro Burn into the game we always dreamed it could be.

We also want to give a huge shoutout to IGN Entertainment for being so incredibly supportive of indie games.

From TwitchCon to IGN Live... what a week so far! Let's keep this momentum going and bring this kitty home! 🐈‍⬛
