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! 🧶

Thank you for being the best co-pilots in the galaxy!
Ready? Steady? MEOW! 🚀🐈⬛
