- Patch #4 - 15 December 2023
Hi all! This patch is mostly focused on requested QOL changes with some new items too. In other news, did you know we have a Wiki? We are currently in the process of adding to it- here’s the link if you want to visit or help fill it out: https://asterogues.wiki.gg/wiki/Asterogues_Wiki Jupiter: Fixed a bug with Jupiter crashing the game when he dies in certain situations New Items: The tavern is getting some new options for its customers! Added the Star Sour, White Martian, Moonshine, Gravitini, Glimmerlet, Dark Matter Mix to drinks Planet chests have a new item pool including some items that may have not shown up before.

- Patch #3 - 17 October 2023
Hi everyone- This patch is broken into two parts- there’s a retweak of playable characters and run difficulty overall, and then a sizable amount of QOL changes + bugfixes. Most of these are reported from Discord and Steam forums! In other news, did you know we have a Wiki? We are currently in the process of adding to it- here’s the link if you want to visit or help fill it out: Asterogues Official Wiki Balancing: The main goal for balance changes is to make the game more fun rather than to make all the characters equally strong. The idea behind nerfs is to remove situations where the character is so strong that it no longer interacts with the game. Pluto is getting some changes to feel more fair. He gets punished heavily for getting hit and some players feel like he doesn’t catch every bullet in his orbit. Pluto only catches bullets that spend enough time near him, so it was possible fo…
- Patch #2 - 7 October 2023
Hi everyone- a small patch here to add on to the one from a couple days ago. BUG FIXES Fixed a bug where re-rolling planet chests would grant bonus hearts and coins Fixed a space where portals could spawn in a wall in Jupiter Fixed music tracks changing to the wrong track after boss fights Fixed items not saving in casual mode in Comet Spaceways Pets achievement happens at 5 pets as stated rather than 6 Jupiter wont continue to shake the screen after being defeated Tavern NPC now gives 60 coins as stated Fixed a bug which prevented Hydra from using infest on Jupiter BALANCING Hydra’s host now takes damage vs bosses scaling with its max hp- high hp hosts will still get killed in a couple of shots Reduced the number of small enemies that spawn with the miniboss on Comet Spaceways and Jupiter Crates are a little less likely to drop unusual hearts Taunting Cape now requires a 4 cursed run t…
- Patch #1 - 5 October 2023
Hi everyone- Asterogues’ first patch is now live! Here’s a breakdown of what it contains: Content: 2 NEW ZONES AVAILABLE There was a missing link after defeating Saturn that was not allowing players to reach the second half of the content. This is now fixed, so you can fight the middle planets! SECRET 4TH CHARACTER AVAILABLE Fixing the link also gives access to a new character in the later half of the game! CURSED HUB SHOP AVAILABLE This also gives access to the cursed shop at the hub, which acts as difficulty modifiers for harder runs. This is paired with 3 new achievements for completing cursed runs! HYDRA MECHANICS CHANGE Hydra is having a small tweak to its boss buff. Instead of preventing hosts from dying when firing its last HP against a boss, it now slowly restores host HP when fighting a boss. This will make it so you can fight a boss while controlling a stronger enemy that fire…
