Astro Burn is our love letter to the early ’90s cute-em-up classics like Parodius and Pop’n TwinBee — games that were bold, wildly creative, and completely, delightfully bonkers!

A cute-’em-up is a playful twist on the classic shoot-’em-up genre, blending fast-paced arcade action with adorably chaotic characters and worlds. Expect all the dodging, blasting, and bullet-hell intensity you love—wrapped in bright, charming, and often hilarious visuals. 

In Astro Burn, you play as Astro — a daredevil feline astronaut strapped into a high-powered jetpack — and her trusty robot sidekick AL as they return from a deep-space mission to discover Earth has been overtaken by colossal, cute-but-chaotic overlord animals… and not a single human in sight.

Armed with outrageous weapon combos, a rocket-fuelled jetpack, and purrfectly tuned reflexes, you’ll blast through absurd bullet-hell swarms, dodge rainbow-coloured laser storms, and face off against giant cosmic creatures who rule the galaxy with an aggressively adorable iron paw.

Expect screen-filling mecha pandas, hyperactive huskies wagging up solar vortexes, opera-singing space squids, and celestial goldfish launching star-shaped projectiles — all delivered with the wonderfully unhinged, anything-goes spirit of the 90s arcade classics.

This is cute-em-up chaos dialled to MAX — a nostalgic side-scrolling shooter inspired by 16-bit arcade madness, reborn with modern pixel art, tight controls, and over-the-top personality.

It’s retro mayhem with a cosmic wink: giant animal bosses, unhinged bullet patterns, cosmic comedy, and jetpack-fuelled heroics all wrapped into one delightfully chaotic adventure.
