Our take on Astra And The New Constellation
Its compact level-based structure supports focused speedrun attempts, but that same design leaves less room for a long-form adventure. The experience prioritizes movement challenges, personal records, and replaying individual stages over a broader campaign structure.
What is Astra And The New Constellation?
Astra And The New Constellation is a retro-style platformer built with the Pico-8 fantasy console.
Players guide Astra through 15 levels set across multiple planets and biomes, using running, sliding, jumping, and gliding to cross platforming challenges. Stardust collected during the journey is used to build a new home for Astra’s constellation. The game includes a Cozy Mode that lowers hazards, along with accessibility options. Its soundtrack contains nearly 30 minutes of original music. Speedrun tools include a timer that excludes loading, plus records for individual-level Personal Bests, complete-run Personal Bests, and combined best segment times.
