A.S.T.R.A.

A.S.T.R.A. is a 2D hand-drawn collection of mini-games in different genres, all wrapped in a single arcade experience. The story centers on an artificial intelligence named ASTRA, which controls the system inside the computer space and has been seized by a destructive virus named B. The virus aims to erase the operating system, while ASTRA sometimes communicates with you to complicate things. Your role is a regular user whose goal is to reset the system by destroying the virus. The virus encrypts data and charges an improvised currency for each action, which you must earn by playing the included games. Pick a title, buy it, wait for it to load, and it will appear on your desktop ready for action. Each run challenges your reflexes and pushes you toward a new high score.

Mini-games you can dive into

• Platform Hero: Survive by gripping the action with a grappling hook and a firearm as platforms crumble beneath you. Enemies converge and the ground gives way, so you must time jumps, aim precisely, and switch tactics on the fly. The challenge tests safe footing, quick aim, and resourceful movement as you race to outlast the advancing threat.
• Planetoids: Take control of a ship in a space network battleground and rack up points by blasting asteroids. You steer the ship, blasting through debris that splits into smaller fragments. Each destroyed asteroid and each surviving moment edges you toward a higher score, while careful navigation guards against sudden collisions that end the run.
• Dino Island: A frantic endless runner where you play as a dinosaur sprinting through a perilous landscape. Jump over stones and trees, and when the moment demands it, transform into a pterodactyl to fly over entering obstacles. The rhythm of steps, jumps, and mid-air transitions creates a brisk, arcade-friendly tempo that rewards precise timing.

The game blends a variety of genres into a cohesive experience, with each mini-game offering distinct mechanics, rewards, and the chance to push your personal best. The overarching goal remains consistent: outplay the virus, reclaim the system, and earn the currency to unlock and access new challenges. A.S.T.R.A. invites players to test different skills, chase new records, and enjoy a charming, artful 2D world that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
