LAB132 :
Heidelberg, Germany - November 21st, 2024 - LAB132 are pleased to announce that their competitive speedrunning 3D platformer, Astral Tracks, has exited Early Access and is available now on Steam. Leap across dangerous gaps, swing between platforms like Spider-Man, run on walls, and more, as you use a toolbox of dynamic skills to compete for the best times while unlocking eccentric accessories for your character to wear via a duck-based economy.
Refine your runs on procedurally generated tracks constructed from hand-made chunks as you try to shave seconds off your times to defeat friends, family or enemies and climb the leaderboards. Alternatively, embrace Astral Tracks’ meditative side and find yourself entering a relaxing flow-state as you glide through the tracks.
Your progress through the game will be rewarded with unlockable costumes and accessories that can be purchased with in-game duck-based economy (there are no microtransactions), including diving fins, plungers, balloon animals, silly hats, baked goods and tutus, adding an outlandish splash of fun to the game’s interdimensional sci-fi aesthetics.
With this full 1.0 release, a host of new features and improvements have been added to the game, including daily, weekly and monthly challenges to increase the level of competition and bring people together on the tracks, a whole new stage with new track segments, new accessories for customisation and more tracks, to name a few of the additions.
“We’re really excited to see people on the tracks competing against each other now that the full 1.0 version of Astral Tracks is available,” said LAB132 co-founder Laura Körting. “The time Astral Tracks has spent in Early Access has really helped us to refine the game and improve it in so many aspects. We’re looking forward to seeing how you can surprise us on the leaderboards!”
