The Trailer for ‘Astra’ Looks Astounding

TouchArcade Rating:

Astra was a game that looked promising when the first footage was revealed. But the first trailer for the game has me really excited, as Astra is looking like it could be a ton of fun. There’s plenty of orbital runners/platformers on iOS, but I’m digging the varying level design on display here. Plus, the game’s combination of sci-fi and colorful Greek wall paintings seems like an interesting mix that just might work. The trailer has me hyped:

This one is promising to release around September or so, and I can’t wait to play this for myself. There are loads of games like this on the App Store, but the levels and feel of the game come off incredibly well through the footage. Everything looks like it’s coming together to be something special, and it could prove to be a top-notch orbital platformer, so keep an eye out for this one soon!

      This doesn't actually mine Bitcoins from your device, does it? I hope not.

        nope.

        i just roll my eyes at that joke

      Clickers I'll never understand why anyone would waste any time on them.

      Reminds me of the people who sit at Slots all day and crank away on the one arm bandits. Except there's a small possibility of winning actual money.

        This is not a game, is an ordeal the universe puts you through.

        1. Seth Henson

          And?

            Seriously? Disrespectful people like you should not be welcome on this site. You're entitled to your opinion but if you like the color red and can't stand why people like blue then you need to realize that people have different tastes in different things, and that's what makes so great, or bad, depending how you personally view the world....

      2. Brendan Charles

        I feel the same way. Some people say games like "The Walking Dead" aren't really games, but more interactive storybooks, or whatever... To me these asinine clicker games should be way ahead of any other genre to face such criticism.

      3. Droog

        I remember in the early 90s I got addicted to MUDs, I had a week vacation from work and spent it on Medievia. Soon after I realized what a waste if time it was. Which is why I never got into WOW or Everquest. All games are pointless but we play them anyways. Incremental games are like leveling up, how far can we get.

      4. gaymerX

        I don't get it either. I've tried a few and they all seem to be meaningless. Keep tapping until what??? You unlock the next tier of stuff that gives you more to tap... Rinse and repeat. I can't seem to feel a sense of reward for just tapping endlessly. Zero skill, zero reward.... For me anyway. I'm glad that people like these games, but I just don't get it.

      5. ZeeMonkeyMan

        I'm with you but unfortunately most people in this world are very simple so simple entertainment is all they need. It's the exact same reason iOS is littered with generic free to play games with no substance at all.

        1. nini

          Yes, if a game doesn't make you stress and push you to your limit then what sort of game is that? Nothing, trugamers know this and dumb casuals don't.

    3. Bliquid

      I got my life back through endless clicking.
      I thought it was over.
      But it never is.

      Hey I'm loving it. It is so menial but hey when you are stuck waiting on your elderly mother at the hair salon what else is there to do?

      1. Brendan Charles

        Literally anything else.

      2. Bliquid

        Tap Titans.

    5. Animalzomb

      One of my fav clickers fo' sho'. So much content now . Like the dev told me , this really could have been Bitcoin 2

    6. orangecan

      I loved it to bits but I think I got all I needed out of it before I deleted it. tap Titans on the other hand is still sitting on my iPad

      Warning for iOS 9 public beta users. Say good bye to this game.
      Never played this game before and gave it a go.
      It keeps crashing during gameplay. Often.
      Unplayable.
      Thought I'd leave a note about it, because every other single game on iOS 9 public beta I've played have no issues whatsoever.

      1. kellstrand

        It worked for me no problem.

      2. Ryan Noodle

        There are some issues popping up with iOS 9 yes. However such is the risk with using a beta OS. During iOS 8 Beta 2, SSG2 was unplayable for everyone, then in Beta 3 it was fixed. We cant tailor our games to non gold master software because they change it so frequently. Sucks it doesnt work but once iOS 9 is finalized, we can ensure this will be playable for all.

        1. Ponyfox

          Thank you for the feedback and yes I am aware that these are the risks of running a beta OS. It's just a headsup for first timers who give this one a go while running beta.
          No worries though, I'll keep the game installed and will wait until it's fixed as it looks heaps of fun! <3

          1. Ryan Noodle

            Great thanks for sticking it out!

            1. Ponyfox

              Dat reply speed though.
              I always have great respect for developers who keep in touch with their userbase, especially on more personal levels.
              You sir, just set a new small mark just now. :D

      3. Michael (FizzPow)

        There's been at least one report that iOS9 Beta 5 (or public beta 3) that just came out resolves the issue.

    8. Riddip

      When it came out i played through the whole game. But now the cloudsave feature comes way too late. If i reinstall the game i have to start again from the beginning! Lol, no, thx, i am done -.-

    9. ZeeMonkeyMan

      Hey Carter aren't you the same guy that gave the absolutely amazing and original game Heroki a mediocre score because you felt the levels were too much the same??....What the hell is wrong with you?! SMH!

      1. nini

        He can have different games have different responses regardless of how someone thinks he should feel? Man, I wish I could go troll some dungeoncrawler articles, tell anyone there they suck for liking that genre.

        1. ZeeMonkeyMan

          The point is that his main gripe with Heroki is that it was too repetitive yet at the same time he adores this game that is quite literally tapping over and over and over again....can you not see the fracking HUGE contradiction here??

    10. Cgg

      Came back to it after the update. Now it's crashing whenever it tries to play a video. iPhone 6, iOS 8.whatever is the latest.

      1. LordShad0wz

        That's the issue I had before the update. If that happens to me again I'm done with this game permanently.

        1. Michael (FizzPow)

          lol, I wouldn't blame you, but I put a lot of effort into making sure this should be fixed. I will be equally upset if the new video SDK's are still broken for some people.

    11. Pivi

      Oh no. I never heard of this game, and now I'm doomed... X_x

    12. longer adrenaline

      fucking love this update, this got me hooked from the beginning. This update got me back on it. Thanks Noodlecake now i can look busy on my phone
