Our take on Astro Tripper
Its defining structure is free movement across horizontally scrolling platforms, where firing at enemies is paired with the constraint of avoiding a fall.
What is Astro Tripper?
Astro Tripper is a retro shoot-em-up set across large horizontally scrolling platforms.
Players can travel freely across each platform while avoiding a fall, using blue lasers and red spread lasers against flying, ground-based, and alien enemies. Destroyed foes drop power crystals that strengthen the weapons. The game includes 14 unique levels arranged across four worlds, with enemies such as UFOs, motherships, tanks, choppers, slugs, insects, electrical structures, and bosses. It also includes global online leaderboards, unlockable challenge games, achievements, and 3D visual effects.
