Press release:
Funstock (London, UK) – Nov 30th, 2022.
Dume Games Studio and Jandusoft are today very proud and happy to announce that their retro-like Metroidvania “Astronite“, is now digitally and physically available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (for the PS5, PS4, and Nintendo Switch).
Mission 2205 is the last chance for the ancient inhabitants of Neplea.
Long ago the Nepleans discovered that a strange entity lived in the core of the planet, and were forced to flee when it released an army of strange and dangerous beasts. Now, the valiant Astronite has returned to his home planet with just one mission objective: to liberate Neplea from the forces of evil!
🚀 Inspired by great video game classics!
🚀 Run, jump and fly through a huge map and its many unique zones
🚀 Levels filled with fierce enemies, formidable bosses and hidden secrets…
Shoot, jump, dash and fly through Astronite’s 1-Bit world to overcome your foes and advance to the planet’s core!
Find permanent powerups scattered throughout the planet to improve your skills. Rewards are waiting for those who explore all the corners and hidden paths on Neplea that will help you in your quest.
Explore the many twists and turns of Neplea, and keep an eye out for strange and hostile creatures, as well as secrets hidden within the planet’s core…
Recover Neplea from the Entity with your particular set of skills, and bring the planet back to its former glory!
Battle through crowds of lethal and varied bosses in your conquest of the evil Entity.
Solve the puzzles scattered around the planet to win prizes, items and improvements that will help you complete your mission. Participate in the Fight Festival to demonstrate your skills or, if you consider yourself the most intrepid of explorers, take on the Echo Gates for your hardest challenge yet!
