Astro Blade
A downloadable game for Windows
Pilot your Astro Blade star fighter through six challenging levels battling waves of enemies, avoiding deadly traps and facing fearsome bosses in this 90s inspired horizontal shooter.
Your satellites provide defense against weak enemy bullets and have their own built in weapons. Move them around your ship to find the best placement for each situation.
As well as your standard rapid shot you have four secondary weapons you can power up and switch between. Find the best one to use on each stage.
Complete secondary objectives to unlock alternative stages to find the five Cosmic Cubes hidden throughout the game.
Find all five Cosmic Cubes to unlock the final challenge.
This Demo contains the 9 stages across the first three environments. Complete the secondary objective in the first stage of each to progress to a more challenging route through the second.
The final game will have 18 stages split across 7 environments.
