About the Game

Mixing old and new, Astrokicker is inspired by classic shootemups going back to the 80s, with a few twists. Pilot your ship in any direction, avoiding asteroids and steering well clear of space mines, as you use a variety of weapons and power ups to destroy the starbases controlling warpfields used to travel between the stars.

Key Features:

  • Story: Astrokicker features a full story, playing out without forcing the player to sit through cut scenes
  • Modern mode: In modern mode, you fly in any direction, ships are rendered in 3D with a detailed UI
  • Retro Mode: While in Retro mode, ships are limited to 8 directions and the graphics will bring back that hot 80s arcade action feel
  • Visuals: Beautiful parallax scrolling backgrounds in modern mode - we created 100 unique backgrounds for mouthwatering visuals
  • Powerups: The action can get intense, so selecting and using the various powerups can make the difference between victory and defeat
  • Control: Astrokicker makes full use of your gamepad, with quick selection of your powerups at your figertips
