Astro Heart
This game is not designed to run on your device. Add it to a collection to play later, or you can try to run it anyway.
Astro Heart is an auto battler game where vessels are programmed with a simple visual language.
This game is inspired by a Carnage Heart game.
How to play:
- Choose suitable equipment for the level at Hardware screen
- Configure your vessel behavior at Software screen
- Test your Hardware+Software combo in battle
- If you win, the level advances
- If you lose, repeat the steps until your bot wins
Astro Heart is a Ludum Dare 55 prototype that needs to be polished later.
Created in 2 days (LD compo) from scratch.

Made with Ebitengine.
Some hints:
- Hover over any UI element to get tooltips
- There are 6 levels in total (the final boss is at level 6)
- You unlock more hardware options with levels
- Vessels get damaged while flying out-of-bounds
Level 6 is beatable, but it's very tough and it will require some luck. It's intended to be a final challenge that allows you to play the game for longer (because the first 5 enemies are not that complicated).
Tools used:
- MilkyTracker (music)
- sfxr (sound effects)
- Aseprite and GIMP
- VSCodium
- Ebitengine (game engine for Go)
