About This Game

Astral Court DX is an arcade bullet hell platformer! Taking place in Heaven, you play as "The Prisoner" - an infamous criminal who's been to prison one too many times and is sent to death-row! Heaven's one and only court, the Astral Court, is an... odd one... and decides to grant The Prisoner with a series of deadly trials that, if completed, will allow them to get out of prison scot-free!

In these trials, you platform on top of the Scales Of Justice, well several of them, collecting little stars named "Shinies" that spawn around the arena. You must collect a certain amount of Shinies all whilst avoiding whatever foes or obstacles have set up to stop you. Movement is made to give you as much control as possible to avoid hazards efficiently, you have a jump that can be performed even whilst falling and a double jump to get as much height as possible. There are a variety of other characters whom add extra challenge to the trials, accessible in the endless mode only however.

Oh did I mention an endless mode? Yep, that's right! Here's all the content Astral Court DX has...

• Story mode, with 5 trials (8 levels in each) and 4 boss levels

• Endless mode, with many new levels and exclusive trials

• 7 playable characters

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Astral Court DX has mentions/themes of crime, death-row along with a religious theming - with the game taking place in Heaven and having depictions of angels, demons, Heaven and Hell. The Heaven shown in Astral Court is not intended to be an accurate depiction of Heaven shown in any actual Religious writings, and has no intention to offend any religious person.

Astral Court's protagonist is a criminal, but it's never mentioned what crimes they have committed. There's no intention to glorify criminal activity with this character and the game should hopefully reflect that - though there is no preachy "crime is BAD!!!" message either.
