Astro Loop Lab 1.5-lab.2. A tuning build, now starting from the numbers Astro Loop 1.5 shipped with. If you're not on 1.5 yet, please find that in the releases as well. The lab is a way to crowdsource a better balance!

New in lab.2. Every knob starts at its 1.5 value, and the Lab has all of 1.5's weapon and passive changes. Codes made on lab.1 still import; the Lab tells you they were made for the old numbers, and skips the knobs that no longer exist (Cryo Field's flat slow, Vampiric Core's old drain and range).

A separate app. It installs next to Astro Loop and keeps its own save. This is not meant as a game, but just as a build for tuning for 1.5 (and later releases).

Tune the numbers. Change hundreds of knobs: weapons, passives, asteroids, the difficulty curve and drops. Fire intervals are set in 16th notes, so weapons stay on the beat. Under each weapon, the Lab shows what it really fires at each level and what Duplicator Core adds. Hold − or + to change a number quickly. Level caps stay at 5.

Pick any loadout. Every run is an Astro Loop run with every Black Market upgrade maxed and every ship and pilot available (as I want the game balanced around that). Choose a ship, weapons, passives, levels and a start minute, then Launch.

Tune mid-run. Pause with a double-tap and tap TUNE (R1 or E on a controller or keyboard). Your changes apply to the run you are in. QUIT (L1 or Q) ends the run and opens its report.

Share what you found. After a run, open Results and tap Copy report. Post it in GitHub Discussions, in the "Lab reports" category: https://github.com/PubDeer/astro-loop/discussions/categories/lab-reports. Anyone can copy the code: line from your report and import it in the Lab (Tunings, then Import code from clipboard) to play your tuning. Reports from slow phones are marked low-fps: yes.

Requires Android 8.0 or newer.

Install:

  • Direct install: download the APK below (enable "install from unknown sources").
  • Package com.astroloop.game.tuning; it does not replace Astro Loop.
  • Already have lab.1? Install this over it; your saved tunings stay.
