ASTRO ARCADE
A downloadable game for Windows
ASTRO ARCADE is a two-in-one retro arcade cabinet that runs entirely in your console, drawn in pure ASCII with procedural chiptune audio. ASTRO ROVER // FRONTIER PROTOCOL Drive a combat rover across procedurally generated alien terrain. Jump, dash through enemies, launch off ramps for stunts, switch between plasma and mortar, and take down the three-phase Titan bosses. Five biomes, five enemy types, six mission types and a combo system. Survive long enough to reach the extraction beacon.
ASTRO LANDER // DEEP SPACE RESCUE
A precision landing sim. Read the predicted trajectory, fight telegraphed wind
gusts and orbital debris, touch down under the safe speed limits and rescue
stranded crews. Spend credits in the hangar on six upgrades; hull damage carries
over between missions.

ASTRO ARCADE e' un cabinato retro con due giochi arcade che girano interamente
nella console, disegnati in ASCII puro e con audio chiptune procedurale.
ASTRO ROVER // FRONTIER PROTOCOL
Guida un rover da combattimento su un terreno alieno generato proceduralmente.
Salta, sfonda i nemici con il dash, usa le rampe per le acrobazie, alterna
plasma e mortaio e abbatti i Titan a tre fasi. Cinque biomi, cinque tipi di
nemici, sei tipi di missione e sistema di combo. Sopravvivi fino al beacon di
estrazione.
ASTRO LANDER // DEEP SPACE RESCUE
Simulatore di allunaggio di precisione. Leggi la traiettoria prevista, affronta
raffiche di vento annunciate e detriti orbitali, atterra entro i limiti di
velocita' e recupera gli equipaggi bloccati. Spendi i crediti in hangar su sei
potenziamenti; i danni allo scafo restano tra una missione e l'altra.
REQUISITI
Windows 10/11 64 bit, console di almeno 100x28 caratteri (consigliato Windows
Terminal, F11 per lo schermo intero).
INSTALLAZIONE
Estrarre lo zip e avviare AstroArcade.exe (la cartella _internal deve restare
accanto all'exe). L'eseguibile non e' firmato: se compare SmartScreen scegliere
"Ulteriori informazioni" -> "Esegui comunque".
