cleary reminiscing of galaxy so nolstagic
Fun game! Is there an ending to it, or does it continue indefinitely?
Can you provide an Android APK directly to itch that doesn’t require Google Play Services? I specifically buy games from itch.io to avoid that.
Hey. I played your game on PC and I have to say I liked everything about it!
The graphics are cool, the controls fell good and fair. The difficulty curve is very balanced.
Keep it up!
Super solid game! I love games I can jump right into and quickly play to get my fix! Once I get my phone working again I''m gonna love this on my commutes :)
Great Work!
Very nice game!! 5 STARS!!!!!!
Although I think it would need a configuration for the controls (on PC) and that you can change the language.
Very good! Nice Work!!!
Thanks so much, we're glad you enjoy Astral Defense!
The PC/Mac version does come with a user defined keybindings option in the menu, although no controller support has been implemented. Localization would be a pretty large undertaking because of the way Astral Defense's art/animation was tediously created.
