Exclusive Cover Art
We have been discussing with our partner Limited Run Games about it and we can now announce you that all your Kickstarter orders will come with an Exclusive Cover Art!
Improving Gameplay
Our gameplay is aerial and dynamic but we received suggestions from our dedicated channel in our discord server about being able to auto attack not only horizontally butalso toward top and bottom and we liked the idea so check the gif below with Kiran to see how it works:
Bottom attack | Normal attack | Top Attack
Taking your feedback into consideration will be important for us, that is one of our main reasons to think that Early Access is the best way for Astral Ascent.
ExServ- for french speakers the studios founders Alexandre and Louis were live for 1h45 with ExServ to talk about inspirations, game mechanics and more! You can see the replay on youtube.
Do not hesitate to talk to your favorite content creators (youtubers & streamers) about the free demo!

We have got you covered with exciting Stretch Goals that we were hoping to show you!
The first one is called the "Extra Challenges" Stretch Goal, if we reach EUR 55,000 (about $65,000):
We will be adding a brand new NPC to the hub who will give you the opportunity to take on extra challenges and hand over extra money as a reward as as you achieve them.
While we don't have the system in place yet (that's the big part that needs to be done), we have some idea of what it will look like:
The Yalees (little cats) are always around
We will reveal soon the Exclusive Ayla Figure and we are preparing the reveal of Aries ♈, the next Zodiac to unveil.
