We're glad you found a way to enjoy Sonar Smash on your device!

Interesting issues there. The game is balanced for portrait mode. When we detect the game is on desktop devices we use a scaled mode that centers the screen like this example:

On the android build, this probably isn't checking correctly. Nevertheless, that may not be preferable to the landscape user experience you've created 😁

Do you mind sharing which device this is? Its possible we can enable custom controls for APK relatively easily

Sonar Smash is now free to play! Check it out

Hey there noderunner! We've just added an APK version of our newest release here on itch (:

Thanks Jin!  Keeping this project short and labeling it a demo let us really focus on just polishing the very few mechanics and iterating quickly on the pixels. Hearing positive feedback like yours makes us feel very confident and proud in our game design, programming, and pixel art progress over the past two years.

Thanks specialgeek, we're very humbled and grateful that you've enjoyed our demo so much!

Thanks so much, we're glad you enjoy Astral Defense!

The PC/Mac version does come with a user defined keybindings option in the menu, although no  controller support has been implemented. Localization would be a pretty large undertaking because of the way Astral Defense's art/animation was tediously created.

Nice job!

Controls are feeling very snappy and I like your player character and enemy themes. I do agree with the other comment and think your time should focus on improving your art and consistency overall as it does get hard to read whats happening. I think its mostly because there is so much contrast on background elements. This can easily be fixed by your aforementioned palette updates and some practice. Keep up the progress!

Love the art style! Fun little experience.
