Astrokicker

Astrokicker is a top-down arcade space shooter. You pilot the Mk19 through a 100-field campaign of mines, asteroids and enemy squadrons, collecting weapons and upgrades as you fight. Starbases attack with turrets and guided missiles; you shoot down missiles, disable relays and strike a base’s core when it opens.

Combat and progression

You can save your Nova for a crowded field or start a chain of mines and use the blast to reach a turret. Build up your fighter over the campaign, then carry earned equipment into eligible level starts. The final six fields test pursuit, interception and demolition.

Flight modes

Choose Modern mode for free-direction flight and detailed 3D ships, or Retro mode for eight-direction turns and arcade-pixel visuals. Both modes cover all 100 fields and offer four difficulty settings. On Level 99, you can set a time and race your own ghost in the same mode and difficulty.

Story and challenges

You can watch or skip story films while flying, then revisit films you have earned and view records in the Intel archive. The game also includes Flight Challenges, such as luring a guided missile into a rock, destroying a fighter, mine and turret with one Nova, or clearing the final six fields with one ship. There are 24 new Steam achievements.
