Press release:
Heidelberg, Germany – November 2nd, 2023.
The Heidleberg-based (Germany) indie games developer LAB132 are today very glad and thrilled to announce that their competitive sci-fi speedrunning 3D platformer “ASTRAL TRACKS“, is coming to PC via Steam on November 16th, 2023, with a release date for console platforms to be announced at a later date.

“Astral Tracks” puts a host of dynamic movement possibilities at your disposal, from Spider-Man-like swinging, to Titanfall-esque wallrunning, and tasks you with using these abilities to complete Astral Tracks’ levels as quickly as possible and defeat your friends both locally and online.

Unleash your competitive streak as you run, jump, dash, swing, slide and wallrun your way through procedurally generated tracks constructed from hand-made chunks. Master your skills to shave seconds off your times and play against friends, family or enemies, locally or online, competing for the top-spot on the leaderboards!

Or embrace Astral Tracks’ meditative side and find yourself entering a relaxing flow-state as you glide through the tracks.

Time-limited challenges add an extra dimension of fun to your runs through Astral Tracks’ cyber-sci-fi settings and serve to ratchet up the level of competition by bringing players together to compete on the same tracks.

Your progress through the game will be rewarded with unlockable costumes and accessories that can be purchased with in-game currency (there are no microtransactions), including diving fins, plungers, balloon animals, silly hats, baked goods and tutus, adding an outlandish splash of fun to the game’s interdimensional sci-fi aesthetics.

“We can’t wait for the leaderboards to start filling out and see how far players are pushed to refine their times when Astral Tracks releases on PC on November 16th,” said LAB132 co-founder Laura Körting.

“We’re also hard at work on console versions of the game and we’re hoping to give console players more news on when they can play Astral Tracks as soon as possible!”
