I’m super excited to announce the new web release of my game Asterogue! You can play the first two levels for free right now in your browser at asterogue.com - enjoy!

I got a lot of feedback from players since the first release for Android and Windows. Here’s a list of quality of life improvements and major features that were added:

• 💾 Game progress is now auto-saved.
• 🛠️ Fixed unwinnable level generation.
• 🍫 Added hunger indicator.
• 💯 Added a high scores table (tombstones).
• 🔊 Volume control for music & SFX.
• 📱 Mobile: fixed pixel UI issues.
• 📱 Mobile: fixed layout on tiny screens.
• 📱 Mobile: improved touch controls & UI scaling.
• 🔙 Support cross platform back button behaviour.
• 🔃 Ability to exit to the menu and resume.
• ❎ Dismiss messages by tapping.
• ⚒️ Many many bug fixes.

Thank you to Andry Bethpalko who implemented some of the new features. 🙏

The game was always built with web tech but I only released it on Android and Windows at first. Now I’m trying out a web release with a new experiment in taking payment for the game. Basically I am making the first two levels totally free to play on the web and once you reach level three you can make a one-time payment to unlock the rest of the game. I’m excited to see whether this works out as a viable option for my web games.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy playing it, thanks for reading!
