  achievements... 14 of them!achievements the game knows you already qualify for are awarded retroactively when starting up the game, however a few things were never logged (like clearing 5 rows with the drop of a single piece), so you'll have to re-perform those feats to get the achievements - sorry!endless Mode (& related) changesin Endless Mode, there's now fewer nodes to visit overall - in particular, there's one fewer shop and treasure nodewhen choosing a treasure reward in Endless Mode, the Coin reward now always gives 0 Coin!the first time you enter Endless Mode, a dialog pops up to tell you about these and the other Endless Mode mechanics changesthe Astrolabe relic got totally revamped - it was always a bit OP, and in Endless mode, where it was not hard to gather up a few Astrolabes, it was just ridiculous, so I took the opportunity to do something unique with itEncyclopedia entri…

  many thanks to all the people play-testing these early builds! while this is not the final update before the public "version 1" release, the updates leading up to that point will likely to be polish updates (which this update also includes a lot of). translation fixes, performance improvements, stability updates... that kind of thing. that said, you never know: maybe I'll get inspired to add some new hero 🤷‍♀️ and depending on how well the game sells, maybe I'll make be making updates for years to come (as I did with Mysterious Space). TIME WILL TELL!until then, here's what changed in this release!Endless Modeafter beating the game with every character, you unlock New Game+; when winning a New Game+ run, you're now offered to continue playing in Endless Modeand that's all I have to say about that! play to find out more!visual updates to various screensSector 2 now has asteroids flyin'…

• beta build for music-cued visuals is available - 24 June 2026

  I took ~1 week off Astromino development, but I'm back! :)I've got the beginnings of a new system that cues visual effects based on music, because music is rad! but because it might not be stable, especially for Mac users, I'm publishing it as a "beta" build in Steam.you need a secret code to access the beta builds, SO: if you'd like access to the beta build, get in touch - all you early players know where to find me!once it's proven not to crash, I'll release a more-complete version of the update to the main version of the game!
