PAWSTRONAUTS

About the Game

🚀 Stranded. Outnumbered. Adorable.

Your spaceship just crashed on a hostile alien planet. No fuel. No backup. Your crew of 10 animal astronauts is scattered across 6 dangerous worlds - and the only way home is straight through.

🐾 10 Characters. 10 Lives.

Each crew member IS a life. Take a hit and your character pays the price. Lose all HP and the next one drops in instantly. When all 10 are gone... it's over.

🎮 Move Like You Mean It

  • Jetpack - Hold jump to fly. Manage your fuel wisely

  • Omnidirectional Dash - 8 directions, i-frames

  • Ground Pound - Slam down, shockwave enemies, pogo-bounce

  • Stomp, Grab, Throw - Enemies don't die from a stomp. Grab them. Throw them into walls, against each other and into pits to defeat them.

🌍 6 Worlds. Over 30 Levels. Epic Bosses.

From the crash site to crystal caves, magma cores, sky ruins, void breaches, and the mysterious Source, each world brings new enemies, traps, and mechanics. Every world ends with a boss fight that tests everything you've learned.

👾 Bosses That Fight Back

These aren't scripted pushovers. Bosses read your movement, predict where you'll land, punish passive play. Dodge bullet-hell projectiles, exploit openings, and survive multi-phase battles with escalating music.

🤝 Local Co-Op

Grab a friend and play through the entire game together. Pick up and throw your partner to reach impossible heights. Share the crew - share the fun.

✨ Handcrafted minimalistic Pixel Art with a modern touch

Every character, enemy, and environment is hand-drawn pixel art with procedural animations, squash & stretch, dynamic lighting, parallax backgrounds, and juicy screen effects. It looks retro but feels modern.
