Astropods: Starside Glaze is a 2D fighting platformer featuring seamless character swapping between Hemi and Acro, each with unique abilities.

The game offers endless mobility and a fresh blend of platforming and fighting mechanics.
- The game features fluid and varied movement mechanics, reminiscent of Kirby and Smash Bros, allowing for exciting combat and traversal.
- The charming pixel art and energetic soundtrack create a delightful atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.
- The badge system adds depth and replayability, encouraging players to experiment with different loadouts and strategies.
- The camera is pulled back too far, making it difficult to appreciate the character animations and details during fast-paced gameplay.
- Combat can feel button-mashy at times, with bosses lacking clear telegraphing of their attacks, which detracts from the challenge.
- The game is relatively short, which may leave some players wanting more content and depth in terms of level design and boss encounters.

The gameplay is engaging and reminiscent of classic Kirby titles, offering a blend of accessible mechanics and deeper, skill-based challenges. Players can create unique combo routes and utilize a stagger mechanic for heavy damage, while the inclusion of challenge maps and speedrun indicators enhances the experience. Although some found the game shorter than expected and noted that boss encounters could be improved, the overall balance of fun and depth makes it appealing to both casual players and those seeking mastery.
“As said before, there is a lot of tech the game has to offer, and you can make your own combo routes to really deal heavy damage thanks to the 'stagger' mechanic.”
“The stage select screen including challenge maps to help teach more advanced mechanics is a nice touch, and so is each level indicating what times to aim for if you plan to speed run any levels.”
“It has a great balance between a game that is fun to just hop into a level, but also for the depth to take your time to learn and understand all the mechanics you have.”
“My criticisms would be that it's shorter than I wanted it to be and the bosses don't feel like they pair well with the gameplay (but that's unfortunately normal for platformers).”
“The basics will come naturally to anyone who's played a 2D platformer before, some of the novel mechanics will take a few minutes to practice and get decent at (and an hour or so to do naturally), and the highest level movement and attack combos will take a long while to master.”
“Maybe implement deadzones for both gameplay and menus so they can stay different.”
