All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

It is a dream come true to see so many of you piloting through the galaxy! Based on mountains of your fantastic feedback, the red laser pointer has directed us to our most important update yet.

Here is what’s new in v.18:

🛠️ Improvements & Refinements

  • New Scoring System: We want you to feel rewarded! Now, it’s crystal clear when you’ve achieved a Perfect Score Run or a new Hi-Score. Each level completion now clearly communicates your greatness! 🏆

  • Audio Overhaul: Many of you mentioned the "pew-pew" noise was a bit too much. We’ve leaned harder into the Cute-em-up genre! We replaced the noisy sounds with SFX that feel "nice" to the ears - think of the satisfying sound of popping bubble wrap. 🫧

  • Precision Hitboxes: Those pesky collisions! We’ve reworked the hitboxes for Astro and the obstacles to ensure much higher accuracy. No more "how did that hit me?!" moments. 🐈‍⬛

  • Astro’s Attitude: You’ll now hear an audio cue of Astro getting angry whenever you’re hit by enemy projectiles. Don't make the kitty mad! 💢

🚀 Brand New Content

🌆 Stage 7: Abandoned Skylines of Earth

Welcome to the ruins of Earth. The cities are empty, but the streets are packed with oversized animals stampeding straight toward you in glorious chaos!

  • The Boss: Prepare for the ultimate showdown against PooBear on the Party Bus! 🚌🐻

🐱 New Feature: Save The Kittens!

It’s not all about blasting; it’s about rescuing! You can now save cute kittens throughout the levels. Not only does it feel good, but you’ll also get bonus points for every kitten brought to safety!

🎵 Music Player

You asked, we delivered! Since everyone loves the soundtrack by Venice Bleach, we’ve added an in-game Music Player. Now you can sit back, relax, and vibe to the beats.

🐾 What’s Next?

If your specific feedback hasn’t been addressed yet - don't have a hairball! 🧶

We are committed to listening to all your praise and criticism. We’re already working on the next update filled with more fixes and brand-new content.

Thank you for being the best co-pilots in the galaxy!

Ready? Steady? MEOW! 🚀🐈‍⬛

Also... SOMETHING REALLY BIG IS COMING! Stay Tuned 🎶🎶🎶

Community1 Sep 2026Celebrating the Creatives who created original artwork in this cute-em-upAstro Burn is a heartfelt love letter to the golden age of 90s Cute-’Em-Ups, inspired by timeless classics such as Parodius and Pop’n TwinBee on the Super Famicom. From the very beginning, Game Director HaZ Dulull looked to that era of gaming as the project’s creative north star capturing the joy, charm, colour, and pick-up-and-play magic that defined arcade experiences of the time.

Time flies when you're dodging lasers and saving the universe! Let’s be honest for a second: life is tough, but it’s a whole lot better when you’ve got a brave, ridiculously cute space cat taking down cosmic menaces just to save the day. We all deserve a little hero who purrs in the face of danger. 🐈‍⬛ A massive, hear…Game update3 Aug 2026Patch v1.1 updateSome of you may have noticed a little button press bug which may cause screen to freeze during the hi score name entry, so we fixed that, so your paws can slam that A button easily now to confirm your high-score name. We’ve also removed the Discord integration, as it was causing issues on PCs and Macs when playing offline. Our priority is to give you the smoothest, most uninterrupted cute-’em-u…
