Astra Protocol Remake enters beta — retro space survival gets overhauled
South Yorkshire-based indie studio Slice Bar Games has officially pushed Astra Protocol Remake into beta, marking a huge milestone for the project. The announcement comes alongside a brand-new trailer that gives us a proper look at the revamped visuals — and yes, it’s looking as gloriously retro-futuristic as ever. You can jump into the beta now via Itch.io, with Slice Bar inviting players to download the latest build, play through it, and share feedback to help fine-tune the final release.

New features we're working on for Astra Protocol Remake includes improvements the routing & pathfinding. In the original the enemies would fly anywhere. For Astra Protocol 2 they'd only avoid planets. Now we're working on them avoiding anything that causes damage.
