Asterogues News

The pathway to the Sun is finally opening for you to take your revenge!

☀️ This update also contains a ton of new items, bumping the total up to 250+, new enemies, a new area, and a new playable character! You can also recruit rebels along your path to help you in the final fight. Bonus zones are accessible for a chance to pick up more help and items, but are defended by one of the missing planets!

🗺️ The world of Asterogues has been improved! Items have been reworked, as well as chests- not all chests require keys now, but instead have different properties. Items now stack on top of each other in the inventory, and you'll be stacking up items more frequently- runs now feel very different from each other with very different highs!
Some of the hardest enemies and bosses have been nerfed a little, mainly removing some unfair situations, but the game is still very challenging.
The hub can be upgraded with various features that can spice up your runs also, based on your playstyle.
Also, many characters and items have received tweaks and balancing prods to make them feel better, stronger, and improve quality of life.

This game has been in development for a few years and I'm excited to finally give the 1.0 over to you! I really hope you enjoy it, and that the last few months of quiet while I pulled it together was worth the wait! Until then, feel free to join the Discord to see some updates leading up to the day, and wishlist so you don't forget when it drops!

Hi all, this is a small patch aimed at fixing some bugs mainly. There are also two new minibosses that can be found in the early areas to try out.

Additions:
2 new minibosses!
Braniac now has custom items (that can also be found at the Fortune teller)

Balance:
Orion can no longer find Toxic Bullet, since it was so terrible on him.

Fixes:

• Multiplayer- should now be back up and running!
  
• Fortune Teller- fixed a bug in this room where Braniac and rerolling would softlock the game
  
• Fixed a bug where chests could softlock or offer empty slots later in the run
  
  
• Keys should now properly discount in the HP shop, reducing the cost by 1 HP
  
• Laika's shop dialogue now properly offers all 3 options (reroll, key, quit)
  
• Rerolling in the shop now uses a ticket if it is in your inventory
  
• Shop tickets now allow items to spawn of any tier (was causing a bug where the shop level was too high to offer items of the ticket type)
  
• Fixed bug where the Earth's moon would glow and get giant
  
  
• Casual mode- should now retain all newer items added in the last patch between deaths.
  
• Casual mode- keys and rerolls now are retained between deaths.
  
  
• Some enemies that weren't triggering on-hit effects, like the Armoured runts, will now do so properly.
  
  
• In ultra-widescreen, fixed the background not stretching the full length of the screen
