Astral Tracks News

Hey everyone,

we’re very happy to tell you that you are soon going to be able to try out Astral Tracks for yourselves! Our game is going to be part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest starting on October 9th, so please check in on our page as soon as the event kicks off to download the first playable demo of Astral Tracks!

Of course we will also be doing developer livestreams during Next Fest - we will announce the dates and times as soon as the event starts, so you can come hang out with us, have a chat and watch us play!

To give you some more detail of what you can expect in the demo, we’re pleased to tell you that you will be able to try out the game’s competitive side thanks to online multiplayer with Steam friends - in the full release of the game, we’ll also be able to play online against randoms, and there will be a local splitscreen multiplayer mode. The demo features a selection of tracks with selected difficulty levels for you and your buddies to try, a selection of customisation options, and highscores and leaderboards for all the available tracks.

In the full game, there will also be ghost settings, filters for tracks, time-limited challenges that offer fun tasks to complete and bring players together to ratchet up the level of competition, as well as loads and loads of procedurally generated tracks to run.

We really hope that you enjoy the demo on Steam Next Fest - let us know what you think! Please feel free to leave feedback for us in the community hub. In the meantime, we will keep working hard on Astral Tracks behind the scenes to continue to improve it up until release.

Have fun!

Hey everyone,

we’re really excited to announce Astral Tracks today with our debut trailer and finally give you your first look at the game we’ve been working hard on behind the scenes. We wanted to take this opportunity to introduce you to the game and tell you a bit about how it came to be!

Astral Tracks is a competitive 3D platforming speedrunner where you run, dash, slide, swing and wall run your way to victory. You can compete against friends locally or online and refine your runs to top the leaderboards for each procedurally generated track.

We actually released a similar game a couple of years ago that went by the name Schacht. While we had a small community that really enjoyed that game, we never really did any marketing to bring it to the attention of the world and we felt there was a lot more potential in it that wasn’t realised. With Astral Tracks, we’ve taken the core ideas of that game and upped it to the next level - improved level design, mechanics, better visuals, better everything! The result is a dynamic game that really clicks when you get into the flow (and beat your friends’ times of course ;)).

I’ll close by giving you a look at something we’ve had a lot of fun with: our silly costumes and accessories that you can unlock with in-game currency (there are no microtransactions in this game, I promise!). We’ve got tinfoil hats, butterfly wings, crowns, inflatable duck rings and all sorts of other stuff. Here’s a taste of what you can expect:



Thanks so much for taking the time to check out our game and I hope you will consider wishlisting us!
