Astronoid : spaceships racing online from canyons

would love too, but my computer likes to reboot as soon as i start a game :rant:

I jumped on a couple nights back and thoroughly enjoyed the getting of my license and doing a few practice runs by myself on the tracks. Now when I finally joined someone's game the moment I asked "Wanna race?" they disappeared from the game...

arsmagnum, you haven't been lucky on this try... I've never saw that :Oo:
I'm happy to know we have a new competitor Don't hesitate to come on astro's forum (there's an english board) to chat with people, then you could organize races with others peoples.
Come and try again, generally people are pleased to race with each others, that's the way it is more funny
If you want, we are organizing an english speakers game at midnight (french time, which is 6PM in New-York), 11PM GMT I think ;)

Anyway, welcome on Astronoid and thanks for the feedback

I'll give it another shot tonight...

Oh, what a pity, I missed you...
I was quite tired yesterday and went to bed early...
Perhaps another time, don't hesitate to try, we had good races together

Hello everybody.
Just a little post to tell you that after discussing of the game with lots of people, some said me the game was to slow...

Just wanted to tell you it’s because when you begin, you only have schoolship, then class AI (only 600km/h max), but after 20 races you can drive class X (nearly 2000km/h) or class III, which are more funny. It’s only because people need to learn how to drive those ships.

Have a look at the videos, they are all real ingame videos, and see if it looks slow ! lol

Also, some found it boring because they raced alone or with only another person...
The game looses a lot of its interest if there’s not at least 4 persons. Killkill mode with 8 persons is just great, thunder, speed and lightning everywhere ! Great adrenaline for me, but it’s normal, I love racing games ;)

So if you tried the game and found it boring (how can that be possible ? lol), please have another try and come to play with us. There are peoples on servers right now.

Have a nice week everybody.

Astronoid (MMOG spaceships shoot and race) beta version of the next release is out today


Hello everybody !

Aleph0 has announced the Astronoid 2.0.1 beta version on their forum yesterday evening. Everybody can now test “Mushroom City », the new Astronoid’s city.

For the moment, 2 news tracks have been published:

- "Mushroom city" on the beginner federation so everybody can discover this city, despite the track is difficult.
- "Psychedelic dream" on professional federation.

Those 2 tracks are quite difficult and will be modified (inscluding more straight lines) before the public release. Give us your feedback.

Here are few screenshots

Download and installation of the private version

It’s another version so if you play on it, you’ll only see the private version players. You can install it independently of the other version. You can also uninstall them independently.

Here’s the link for this private beta version :

Good flights !

Hello everybody,
A little post to let you know that Astronoid 2.0.1 is out.
What’s new about it ? Beginner server is still free and there’s now a new track called moontwist. A really tricky and technical track with buildings and tunnels... don’t try it on rusty tanker ship first ;)
Another new thing is that rusty tanker has been upgraded. The boost is far longer which means the races are lot faster. I had to change all my driving practices, but it’s more fun like this...
You don’t need to download a new version, just run astronoid and the update will be automatic. For those who don’t have astronoid yet and whom are too lazy to search, here’s the link :

Here’s a new players video, it’s on race mode with tiger squale, no weapon, the idea was to show that astronoid is the fastest online racing game, and you have real collision and shooting in it...

That’s it
Hoping to meet some of you on tracks soon,

Have a nice week-end,

Cheers,
