Third Time's The Charm!
Hello Everyone, We've updated the control system for the game once more. You now pull the left trigger to move forward in the direction you are pointing the controller. You can control your forward speed with the angle of the controller. Straight up is stop, pointed forward is full speed, and angled back is reverse. You now have complete freedom of movement to explore the environment. We hope you enjoy it, and Thank You for your support.

Updated navigation controls for Astral Domine
We are happy to announce a new updated version of Astral Domine is now available, featuring a new "move in the direction you are looking" control system that completely removes all the clunky limitations of the old system. You are now free to use all your available tracked space and can be facing any direction. It's now far more intuitive and easier to use, and we hope you enjoy it.

Astral Domine is an exploration and puzzle based experience. You shoot light balls to interact with the environment, but it is not a shooter game. Your goal is to reach an energy sphere located at the top of a strange castle in a bizarre alien world, and then return with it to your ship. Along the way you will have to solve environmental puzzles to proceed. Moving freely through the environment is essential to the overall game, so we feel any sort of teleporting navigation would not work in this case, especially once you've gotten to the energy sphere.

Both the demo and the full game have been updated, so have a try and let us know what you think.

A word about the controls
Hello everyone, We've seen there has been negative feedback about the control scheme used for navigation, and we want you to know that we're actively testing a new control method that will greatly simplify navigation, and we will be releasing an updated version soon!

The new method will allow you to simply move forward in the direction you're looking, and will eliminate the steering requirements of the current setup.
We realize the current control system takes some getting used to, and is not as intuitive as it should be.

That said, you will get the most out of the current system if you play by it's rules. We find it best to sit in a chair in the middle of the orange arrow, and remain facing the same direction as the arrow. Then it becomes much like driving a car, albeit using the left/right thumb pads to steer.
The new control method will eliminate these limitations.

We will keep you updated on the progress. Thanks for your interest!

A few game tips for Astral Domine
Hello, and thank you for trying Astral Domine. A few helpful notes to get you started.

1- Make sure to hold the controllers in the correct hands. Rotating right with the thumb pad should be in your right hand, and the one that rotates left should be in your left hand. There are small orange arrows on the controllers to show you which is which.

2- The controls work best if you stand or sit within the orange directional arrow, and face the same direction as the arrow.
the arrow shows you which way you will move forward when you pull the left trigger.

3-To start the game, cause any of the objects in your ship to come in contact with the glowing blue energy ball in the center console.

We hope you enjoy the experience.
