Hello! So I'll be streaming the ASTRALODE demo (or at least attempting to if Steam's servers cooperate!) at 5 PM Pacific. Playing through the tutorial and just generally fooling around in the endless arcade mode with some (hopefully) high-level play. Intending to keep it going for about an hour, but we shall see how stable things are at that time of day!

Anyhow, if you're around about then, hope you tune in for a minute or two :)

Hi there! Cheers for taking a look at ASTRALODE, here's hoping you give the demo a try during the Steam Game Festival :)

Available in the demo is the game's Arcade mode with a choice of 3 of the game's 10 copilots to join you on a run. The leaderboards are live, so go ahead and get your name up there! In addition to Arcade mode, there's a pretty thorough playable tutorial available from the title menu which is broken up into a handful of different lessons, with each one offering a quick crash course in a specific part of the game. Pick-'n'-choose or play through 'em all, up to you!

A bunch of things are closed off in the demo, such as the Career and Puzzle game modes and the Azimuth HQ section of the menu where the in-game shop and a number of other extras are located. What's here more closely resembles the contents of ASTRALODE Freeminers, the standalone free version of the game I'm planning to release just after the Steam Game Festival.

Anyhow, thanks again for having a peek at the game! Hope you give it a try :D
