Lastronaut is a pixel-packed, adrenaline-fueled dash for your life as you run, jump, dodge and blast your way through the machine army, equipped with an arsenal of human and robotic weapons to cause mayhem with. At dawn, as the rest of humanity lifts off in the distance, it’s your mission to reach the last rocket ship leaving Earth. Your life depends on it. What to expect from Lastronaut: • Infinite gameplay, providing hours of increasing challenge • A multitude of weapons • Beautiful, hand-crafted artwork and animations set to original music • Chaotic action, slow-motion effects, explosions, explosions and more explosions • Local gameplay stats: distance travelled, total kills, and more! • Global leaderboards and world ranking through Game Center • Plenty of achievements to find and unlock! • Save and share your final moments to Facebook or Twitter Information Seller:Darrin Henein Genre:Action, Arcade Release:Mar 05, 2015 Updated:Jun 25, 2015 Version:1.1.3 Size:24.8 MB TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating: (13) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal PeteOzzy Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2013 4,596 3 0 Norwich, England #2 PeteOzzy, Mar 4, 2015 Ah scuppered at the last second! Nice find This is really fun so far, though obviously my time with it has been limited.

It was supposed to be a "love letter to video games". No ads or IAP whatsoever. Just a guy making a game for us to enjoy. Sounds good to me. About to try it out. Ok this is a great little runner. Beautiful pixel art and lighting effects, leaderboards and achievements, no ads, just a nice game to have on your phone for when you've got a few spare minutes. Oh, and it's by two guys, not one. Can't see any reason not to at least try it out. araczynski Well-Known Member Oct 5, 2009 1,467 0 36 programmer omaha, ne #7 araczynski, Mar 5, 2015 love the music, what group? or is it just for this game? winterstation Member Mar 21, 2013 17 0 0 Musician Brooklyn, NY http://kurtfeldman.bandcamp.com/ #8 winterstation, Mar 5, 2015 It's a cool game but the slow-motion deaths are ruining it for me... There really should be a way to skip them or turn them off. redribbon Well-Known Member Jun 11, 2010 2,799 53 48 entepreanur,programmer #9 redribbon, Mar 5, 2015 The Gameplay: Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel MasonHurst Well-Known Member Jan 9, 2013 429 0 0 #10 MasonHurst, Mar 5, 2015 I gotta admit I love the look of it. Who would think old pixelly GFX mixed with modern lighting and transparency effects would look so... right.... together? Kinda fun gameplay but since you can't really get much of a warning where the projectiles are coming from you basically just shoot madly and jump over any obstructions. Very nice of the Dev not to load it with ads, etc. it's a "love letter" indeed. Big thank you from this gamer anyways! Wish there would be a native iPad version but can't have everything I suppose. Qwertz555 Well-Known Member May 22, 2010 2,318 29 48 #11 Qwertz555, Mar 5, 2015 For what it is and what it does with this gorgeous look...simply outstanding work! Thank you Devs for this amazing love letter. While i see my achievements, it's not registering my highscore (1125m so far). Re-installing didn't help and starting the app shows me immediately my GC log-in. sapphire_neo Well-Known Member Jan 20, 2011 3,934 0 0 #12 sapphire_neo, Mar 5, 2015 This is what happens when you add Michael Bay's explosions and Zack Snyder's slow motion addiction to an auto runner. Completely and utterly over the top, but still pretty fun. The random slow mo and speed ups are kinda jarring and make dodging the missiles a little tough but it's an okay price to pay for the kind of madness you get in return. vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #13 vectorarchitekt, Mar 5, 2015 Love this. I keep wishing you could double jump. Also, I hope they add more background variation. And did I just not get very far yet or are there not really any robots? I am thinking I still need to get further along. darrinhenein Member Feb 23, 2015 23 0 0 Design Lead, Firefox Mobile Toronto http://www.darrinhenein.com #14 darrinhenein, Mar 5, 2015 Wow, thank you so much everyone!

I helped out on the development side of the game and I'm sure glad to see people enjoying this - couldn't ask for anything more. vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #17 vectorarchitekt, Mar 5, 2015 Thank you for the nice retro gift! Are there any plans on updating or adding to it or was this just a project that you've completed? If gladly pay some $ to help you out if you do plan on any updates in the future darrinhenein Member Feb 23, 2015 23 0 0 Design Lead, Firefox Mobile Toronto http://www.darrinhenein.com #18 darrinhenein, Mar 5, 2015 Wow, thanks! A few people have asked this, so we may include an IAP in the future that is purely optional (a new spacesuit, etc) that offers a way to support us. Any gameplay updates and new features will remain free forever bobaferret Member May 12, 2012 22 0 1 Washington #19 bobaferret, Mar 5, 2015 Thank you!
