Astro Tripper is a furious shoot-em-up experience inspired by the painful, knuckle busting video games of years gone by. An evolution of PomPom's 2001 award winning game, Space Tripper. Travel the surface of large horizontally-scrolling platforms, and pit your highly maneuverable craft against hoards of enemies eager to blow you to bits, eat you or worse.

Gameplay is simple. You are free to travel anywhere on the platform at anytime, but don?t fall off! Powerful Blue Lasers and Red Spread Lasers come equipped, so use both weapons tactically to get through tricky situations. Power up your weapons with power crystals dropped by destroyed enemies. Oh, did we mention the blasting absolutely anything that moves?

Enemies encountered are varied. Zippy UFOS. Fat Motherships. Tanks. Choppers. Slimy Slug creatures. Alien Insects. Aztec structures brimming with electricity. And of course, Big Bosses! 14 unique levels spread over 4 diverse worlds means there?s always something new just around the corner.

Astro Tripper is impossible to buy not just on steam but anywhere Digitally. However, there is a gamestop store in antarctica that might have few copies where you can get it. As for me, I got it from Arctic Tundra.

I played it alot - even the predecessor space tripper. I think it is a difficult but entertaining game. It is sure worth 5€ if you like old - school top down shooters. You cant learn the steering properly in under 2 hours - no need to pay attention to reviews with a playtimetime below that.

Poor ship manveurability creates an unnecessary level of frustrating gameplay. There exists a camp that thinks gameplay challeneges from limited gameplay mechanics is valid, but I am not in that camp. I think the era of games whose challenges come from the control scheme itself rightfully died out over a decade ago (and probably never should have existed).

For a comparison, look at your typical bullet hell shooter, where the challenge comes from the number of enemies trying to kill you but you often have pixel-level precision in your ability to maneuver.

Additionally, you get 3 or so lives, and then you get to start all the way over from the beginning. That's right, no continues. This is NES-era level frustrations, and the kind that you usually on saw in the arcade where they often employed tactics to consume as many of your quarters as possible.

Where is the room for this kind of game design today? No where. Thumbs down. It's pretty easy to find some good side scrolling shooters/shmups on Steam, don't waste your time on this.

I consider Alien Zombie Megadeath, the other game from developer PomPom, one of the best arcade games of the latest years. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for Astro Tripper. Presentation aside (it's even more basic than AZM) the game is basically a defender inspired shooter but it's extremely difficult and frustrating. There are three difficulty levels, easy, hard and extremely hard. I've played at hard difficulty (never played a game in easy mode in my life) and I haven't been able to finish the first training level after a dozen game overs. Enemies spawn everywhere, they shoot a lot, some of them collide with each other suddenly changing trajectory, the play area is extremely narrow and, just to add some frustration, you can fall over the play area so you must be extremely careful while maneuvering your ship. Being a defender clone you also have to press a button to flip the ship direction, easier said than done given the overall difficulty. In the end it's not a bad game, it's just badly calibrated and for this reason I could only recommend it to hardcore space shooter lovers. Go play Alien Zombie Megadeath instead.

I've played in previous version of this game - SpaceTripper. And i have to say that visually it was more stylish less color-mess then this one. I like old one a lot. Not this one =(

It's a brilliant arcade game. Loads of fun, flashy graphics, and although it's quite short I've replayed it many many times. For some reason this Steam re-release is optimized much more poorly than the Windows XP original and the framerate degrades pretty badly in some levels. The game is still playable and I highly recommend giving this one a try if you enjoy Defender-style arcade shmups.

Love this to pieces, it really satisfies. If you grew up with R-Type and attacking mutant camels, you should be able to appreciate this one!

An incredible game. Astro Tripper is the graphical upgrade to one of my all time favourite games Space Tripper. On the surface it seems like a simple Defender/Uridium clone, but give it time and you will find the great depth in gameplay it has to offer. The intensity levels that are required to beat the game on Hardest using the keyboard is something I have not found in any other game. The added Challenges that weren't present in Space Tripper are excellent for short spells of blasting action. Both Space Tripper and Astro Tripper are superb examples of the sidescrolling space shooter. A must have.

Sort of Uridium C64 revisited. Old school side-scrolling shooter, with a graphics flourish and fairly unforgiving gameplay.

Generic and technically flawed twitch shooter that has the irritating gimmick of confining the player to a small and oddly shaped space. It's underwhelming in all ways, and a shoddy console port to boot. If this game was a piece of classical music, it would be performed in the tempo of garbaggio. Avoid like the plague. Avoid like a loan shark. Avoid like a psycho ex-girlfriend. Pretend you never saw it and buy Jamestown instead.

A very original arena shmup. Not easy and a bit frustrating at first because if you're hit, you'll have to redo the level (they are short though). You need to learn the design of each levels but the game is much more skill-based than memory-based.
A very interesting shmup despite some problems.

Horizontal shoot-em-up with about a dozen platform levels spanning four stages plus unlockable difficulties and challenges. You have a single-target beam and a multi-target arc beam at your disposal, can choose which to power up with drops and switch between them, and the direction you're facing, with the press of a button.

The only problem with the game is that the maneuverability and inertia are quite poor and really affect your performance. A decent game otherwise, with learning to use both beam types at the right time being essential to progress and survive. Leaderboards for pretty much everything and the game looks great. Doubt I would buy it again if given the chance though due to the terrible piloting.
