What happens when classic Sokoban-style puzzles collide with time loops and character-driven abilities? The answer is Astro Loopers, a bold new 4D puzzle game from BitGroove Inc. that challenges players to think across timelines. The Astro Loopers demo is now live on Steam, giving puzzle fans an early taste of one of 2026’s most inventive indie titles.
Now available, the free demo features exclusive stages built specifically to showcase the game’s unique mechanics, blending logic, timing, and teamwork across multiple versions of yourself.
What Is Astro Loopers? A Fresh Take on Sokoban with Time Loops
At its core, Astro Loopers reimagines traditional box-pushing puzzles by introducing time loops. Every move you make is recorded—and replayed by your past selves in future loops. By coordinating actions across different timelines, players must guide a team of characters through intricate stages and collect Fragments of Time scattered across the universe.
This layered approach transforms familiar puzzle-solving into a strategic, multi-dimensional challenge where planning ahead is just as important as reacting in the moment.
Unique Characters with Puzzle-Changing Abilities
Unlike traditional puzzle games, Astro Loopers revolves around a cast of characters, each equipped with distinct abilities that interact with the environment in different ways.
Some characters can:
- Push blocks farther than usual
- Pull obstacles toward them
- Break specific objects to open new paths
Mastering when and how to use each ability—and syncing them across time loops—is essential for solving the game’s more complex challenges.
Dynamic Stage Gimmicks Keep Every Puzzle Fresh
Each stage in Astro Loopers introduces new mechanics designed to test adaptability and creativity. Players will encounter a wide variety of interactive elements, including:
- Slippery ice floors that alter movement
- Explosive blocks that reshape the stage
- Environmental hazards that demand precise timing
Learning how these gimmicks interact with character abilities and time loops is the key to mastering the game’s deeper puzzle layers.
Over 150 Stages Await in the Full Game
The full version of Astro Loopers will feature more than 150 handcrafted stages, gradually increasing in complexity from beginner-friendly puzzles to brain-breaking logic challenges.
