Beyond The Pixels

There's a last time for everything - Animated Short Film A fragile portrait of siblings, time, and the spaces in between.

I just backed this amazing project from @kiddesimo.bsky.social "There's a last time for everything" - Animated Short Film on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/alt...

Some big Beyond The Pixels® news to announce soon… but for now I’m deep in game dev creating the arcade cute-em-up game I have always dreamt of! + loving the arcade stick from 8BitDo thanks to @overloadpr.bsky.social #indiegame

It is recommended to plug in a gaming controller for the full arcade feel 🎮

but we at Beyond The Pixels® also have love for the keyboard gamers too:

WASD – Move

Space Bar – Fire

F – Slam it, as soon as Catnip Power bar is full, to unleash Feline Fury! 🔥

So if you’re on Mac:

1️⃣ Install and open Steam
2️⃣ Search ASTRO BURN
3️⃣ Hit Play Demo (Steam will prompt you to install if you don’t already have it)

🚀 Great news! the Astro Burn Demo is now live on Steam for Apple Mac!

A huge thank you to everyone who jumped in last night to install & test across MacBook Airs and Pros, your feedback helped ensure it’s running beautifully. 🙌

Coming soon: Astro Burn 😸 Cute-em-up Indie Game: Physical Edition A love letter to the early 90s classics like Parodius and Pop’n TwinBee. Play the game directly from the Retro USB cartridge you own!

Let’s rewind to when buying a game was a ritual 🎮✨

Chunky box.
Manual read cover-to-cover on the ride home.
Cartridge click.
Couch co-op at your mate’s.

We’re bringing that feeling back.

Support the vision on our Kickstarter 🚀 😻
