Reading Time: 3 minutes
Beyond The Pixels®, a London based studio dedicated to re-inventing retro for today’s generation announced today their first title, Astro Burn, a fur-filled-frantic shooter, expected to launch on PC and console in early 2026.
Beyond the Pixels® was founded by film, TV, Games Cinematics Director, and passionate life-long retro gamer – HaZ Dulull, whose credits span Netflix® features, Disney+
shows, Fortnite projects, and cinematics for Evil Genius 2 and Dune: Awakening. The studio builds on his cross-industry expertise, developing original and licensed game IP designed to expand into film, TV, and user-generated content.
Its debut title, Astro Burn, is a modern, retro inspired shoot-’em-up launching across PC, Mac, mobile, and consoles. An animated TV series adaptation, previously announced in Deadline, is already in development, underscoring the studio’s transmedia vision.
As their first official title, Astro Burn certainly ticks all the boxes. With no time for exposition, gamers find themselves blasting into the dark recesses of the cosmos, assuming the role of Astro, a fearless feline space pilot returning from a deep-space mission with her robot companion AL, only to find Earth encircled by towering A.I. war machines… and not a single human in sight.
Before we delve any fur-ther into Astro Burn, let us paws for a moment, as Beyond The Pixels is delighted to announce that a free demo of the game is available from today on Steam®! With gameplay as heated as a cat on a hot tin roof, gamers can download the free demo.
Armed with blazing firepower and cat-like reflexes, Astro is forced to confront waves of deadly enemies, uncover the truth behind humanity’s disappearance, and take the fight to the mechanical overlords in order to discover what led to Earth’s cat-aclysmic demise!
Gamers will need all of Astro’s nine lives to survive the bullet-hell onslaught, set across ten diverse levels of gorgeous space-based shoot-‘em-up action, evoking the much-loved pixel art of the 16-bit era and crammed with tight controls, purr-tinent power ups and meowsic that promises to keep the adrenaline flowing. It’s fast. It’s furry. It’s furious, and it never lets up!
Here’s What To Expect With Astro Burn:
- Blistering side-scrolling shoot-’em-up inspired by 16-bit classics.
- Reborn and re-engineered for modern gamers with slick modern pixel art, tight yet simple controls, and adrenaline-pumping action.
- Roguelite challenge to get your claws into!
- Two Player Co-Op Arcade mode: Double the kitty chaos! Share weapons and work together to take down the evil machines or go into competitive co-op!
- One button action makes the controls kitty simple to master, with a “Stack-em-up” weapons system.
- Sci-Fi mystery lore led by a sassy, feline badass packed with cat-tastic quips and purr-fect puns at every turn! Coupled with her logical thinking robot companion makes for fun character moments designed to delight and surprise!
- Unlock each level as you progress, with the freedom to replay levels anytime.
- Earn Steam achievements and become the cat who got the cream!
- Challenging end of level bosses will leave you feline amazed!
- Battle through ten incredible levels—from deep space and mechanical worlds to Earth’s skies, underwater realms, sprawling cities, and beyond!
- Enjoy four to six hours of action-packed gameplay, with even more hours to sink in through skill mastery, level replays, unlockables & additional game modes.
- Hi-Score leaderboard with Time (hello speed-runs!)
- Unleash powerups such as the Catnip Mode (Bullet time in space!)
- Banging synth-wave retro cool soundtrack by Venice Bleach.
HaZ Dulull, Creator of Astro Burn, commented on today’s announcement, “I’m grinning like a Cheshire cat today, as we finally go live with the downloadable demo for Astro Burn, the first official title from Beyond The Pixels®. I want players to walk away from my games with a sense of fun and wonder, the same feeling I had as a teenager spending hours at the arcades. These days, so many games demand 60+ hours of commitment or lock you into subscriptions, but back then it was simple—you could just pick up a game, play, and have fun without it being so time-consuming or overwhelming.” Explaining what inspired HaZ to develop the game, he continued, “I’m developing Astro Burn to bring back the spirit of gaming’s golden age and it’s also why I’m planning to release physical editions of our titles—because there’s something special about holding a game in your hands, just like the old days. There’s much more to come, but for now, I can’t wait for gamers to feel the burn, blast off into orbit and experience the fun of Astro Burn for themselves!”
Astro Burn is expected to launch on PC, Mac, mobile and console starting from early 2026. The aforementioned animated TV show is currently in development with more details to follow.

ProgressPlay, a leading B2B iGaming platform provider, used the SBC Summit 2025 to present a major upgrade to its standalone iGaming platform. The release focuses on giving operators end-to-end control of their environment, with greater flexibility in customisation, compliance management, and scalability, which is engineered for ambitious operators who demand complete creative and commercial autonomy.
“For too long, operators have faced a difficult choice: launch quickly with a constrained white-label or embark on a costly technical build. Our standalone platform shatters that compromise,” said Itai Loewenstein, CEO of ProgressPlay. “We provide the robust engine of a proven platform with the absolute freedom to build a brand that is entirely their own. This is about handing them the keys to their kingdom.”
The upgraded solution delivers tangible competitive advantages by granting operators unmatched brand sovereignty and complete control over every customer touchpoint. It ensures full data ownership for advanced analytics and personalised engagement, while a transparent commercial model protects profitability by removing revenue share traps.
Built on an API-driven infrastructure, the platform allows for third-party integrations and effortless scaling into new markets. Most significantly, operators own the platform outright, future-proofing their investment as a valuable business asset.
This powerful standalone solution complements ProgressPlay’s established portfolio, attuned for every business model, from emerging brands to established enterprises; the platform delivers a complete ecosystem. Operators can launch dynamic casino, bingo, and sportsbook verticals, along with specialised sweepstakes solutions, all supported by thousands of games and advanced operational tools.
The demonstration at Stand B410 also highlighted the platform’s unparalleled flexibility, showcasing how its modular architecture allows operators to start with a streamlined solution and seamlessly expand into a full-scale, standalone operation. This scalable approach ensures that ProgressPlay is the single, long-term technology partner capable of supporting an operator’s growth from market entry to market leadership.
Attendees experienced a live demonstration at the stand. “The enhanced enterprise solution empowers operators with unprecedented freedom, control, and scalability to shape the iGaming landscape,” added Marina Nahhas, Head of B2B Sales and Marketing at ProgressPlay.

How many times have you seen the same thing: fruits on the reels, endless sevens, typical free spins? It feels like the industry ran out of ideas a long time ago.
Now forget it.
Dream Play works differently. No one here is trying to repeat the old. They create mechanics that you won’t find elsewhere:
* Pay Lines – winnings go by lines, but it’s in the details that the drive lies.
* Tumble – symbols collapse and fall in cascades, turning each spin into a chain of unexpected combinations.
* Free Spins – free spins that really feel like a chance for a “big moment”.
* Bonus Buy – no waiting, one-click bonus at your fingertips.
* Sticky Wild – wild symbols that stay on the field, enhancing each spin.
* Coin Chase – an accumulating jackpot that rips the moment three identical symbols match.
* Progressive Multiplier – multiplier that grows in the bonus all the way until it reaches the maximum.
* Exploding Symbol – a bomb symbol that explodes vertically and horizontally, opening up new win lines.
These are not pretty words. It’s a real new way to play.
Who’s doing all this?
Dream Play employs professionals with many years of experience in iGaming, math, game design and development. Everyone is responsible for their own area and understands how to make a product stable, technological and in demand. This is what allows us to create games that meet high industry standards and keep players’ attention.
Recent releases
Sweet Crumbles is a light but unpredictable slot where a simple idea turns into a series of colorful combinations and unexpected wins.
Emojinator – a game that makes emotions work for you: familiar symbols become the key to bonuses and cool chips.
Wolf Street – wild energy and high stakes dynamics, a slot where every spin keeps you in suspense and promises a big catch.
Dual Fruity Fruits – a classic fruit theme, but with a double serve: here the usual symbols are opened from a new angle and give more opportunities to win.
Jiggly Joker is a charismatic character who turns every game into a show. The slot is full of unexpected features and bright moments that don’t let you get bored.
We can talk a lot about them, but it’s better to open and see for yourself. It’s not “just another slot”, it’s an example of how an idea is made into a product you can’t really get away from.
