AMSTELVEEN, NOVA SCOTIA – May 2025 – Mindscape and Cosmocat Games are excited to announce the playtesting for the latest and final free content drop for action-platformer Astral Flux, called Elevated first releasing on Steam.
Elevated Update
Elevated is set high in the sky above the clouds of Galion Persei 9. With this height comes a new hazard: gravity. Where other worlds provide a safe landing, this new world has no bottom, so one misstep could send you falling to your death! The level is much more open, making navigation easier, however, a free roaming boss, wall-crawling and airborne enemies give this planet a whole new set of challenges to overcome. Face the coming storm and prepare for a turbulent and high-flying challenge in the Elevated update playtest!
