It's time to leave the world you love behind.
The year is 2015 and mankind has created the first sentient machine: a humanoid robot. If we only knew what would happen next, we probably could have saved ourselves. Now, we’re abandoning the only planet we’ve ever known.
Lastronaut is a pixel-packed, adrenaline-fueled dash for your life as you run, jump, dodge and blast your way through the machine army, equipped with an arsenal of human and robotic weapons to cause mayhem with. At dawn, as the rest of humanity lifts off in the distance, it’s your mission to reach the last rocket ship leaving Earth. Your life depends on it.
What to expect from Lastronaut:
• Infinite gameplay, providing hours of increasing challenge
• A multitude of weapons
• Beautiful, hand-crafted artwork and animations set to original music
• Chaotic action, slow-motion effects, explosions, explosions and more explosions
• Local gameplay stats: distance travelled, total kills, and more!
• Global leaderboards and world ranking through Game Center
• Plenty of achievements to find and unlock!
• Save and share your final moments to Facebook or Twitter
This Casual game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Just good. Easy to get into, challenging to finish.
Ran out of cool space games and stumbled on this one. Love it.
Did this game get copied from run away free by yuki ootomo.
This game was pretty fun at first but this update made it even more fun. We do think there is something missing, some more weapons maybe. Love this game, recommended playing it.
We use this game as a quick 2-3 minute game between texting or reading on public transit. Enjoyable wasting of time.
The gameplay is top-notch. Couldn't be happier with the idea and is easily one of the best endless runners. But it DOES need more. More unlockables, more environments, free characters. Starting to feel like same old same old.
This is exactly what games on the iPhone were meant to be. Simple, fun, and amazing. To all the people who are asking for "more," we disagree. This game is a perfect time killer, and the devs did an amazing job. It is perfect, and fun.
We really love this game. Wish they had more like it.
We enjoy this game but we wish there were more stuff to do.
We have downloaded and deleted many games… Some have saved, a lot have gone. Lastronaut is the best game ever.
This game rocks we love so much did not have any problems with it.
10/10, this game got us laid, no joke.
Perfect for a fun little game with cool effects.
This game is very addicting, but needs more. First you should have different abilities with the different characters that you buy. Second there should be coins or money that you collect to buy accessories like MORE guns, power ups etc. Overall, this is a GREAT game and we recommend it.
This game is great. Terminator 80s nostalgia, meets classic side scrolling action. Perfect controls and gameplay for the smartphone. Love the music, the slo mo action, the simple story and the animation. Congratulations to the creators. We felt like a kid again.
Great game we play it all the time but you shouldn't charge people 1:99 just for a costume you should make them unlock able but. Still a good game.
The only thing that could possibly make this already amazing game better is a few more perks, more enemies and bacon.
Once you hit level ten you're literally almost invincible and impossible to kill. Death rate will be like 1/1000 probably even more due to opiness.
We give this game a 10/10 it's so fun and creative.
Solid gameplay, fantastic sound design, but an unfortunate lack of different enemies. The pixel art is gorgeous but the same background and same one enemy and the same missiles.
Good way to pass the time in the bathroom.
Yes, this is an endless runner game, but there's a twist. You're given a random gun like weapon each time you play. Enemies burst into flames. There's slow motion when cool explosions happen. It's a lot of fun.
This two-man team has worked for two years to bring their vision to fruition. Congrats on a spectacular application, devs.
Still playable Just for the score.
Needs a few more things, though. Maybe boss battles? Because we've gotten tired to reducing everything to shrapnel with one shot. Maybe loadouts would be good too.
Shallow but fun. Good for quick fixes.
Lastronaut is one of our favorite games it's fun and addictive but it gets really old after a while and is in dire need of a update we need more weapons perks and a different background the same old same old gets dull.
We love this game. It is one of our absolute favorites that we have on our phone. But, after a while, it gets boring. Firstly, you should be able to have a sort of customizable Arsenal for each game you play, and as you level up, unlock more weapons along the way. Secondly, you should be able to unlock costumes without we.A.P. We understand how the costumes are a great way for the devs to make money, however it would be great if you could unlock some for free. Third, add a few more perks. Y'know you unlock the three and then your pretty much done. And lastly, more backgrounds. The same old city scape gets old very quickly, and you begin to wish there was some more eye candy in the background. That's our wish list, and we hope it is taken into consideration.
WHERE ARE THE WALKING ROBOTS?!!???!!???There has got to be walking robots shooting machine guns and missiles.WE NEED THAT.
It's an ok infinite runner but there's very little challenge and once you have played the game for 5 minutes you have seen everything it has to offer. The only increase in difficulty is that the enemies get slightly more frequent, and you will eventually make a mistake. Probably due to boredom. 3 stars because this game has no flaws (it functions as designed) except that it's more of a demo than a full game.
Was the slow motion put there to mess you up. Because it does. Messes your timing up every freaking time. And for what, we don't even see anything spectacular happening when it does it. If you are gonna keep it do t use it so often and also make it much shorter duration and also actually make sure some even is clearly happening. Maybe it needs special effects with words and numbers so you have something to look at which also reveals why it's happening. Make it more rare. And maybe just respawn instead of end level and take forever to start again. Break the boundaries of typical to bridge instant user gratification and this game will go from decently average game to notable and fun.
Good gameplay but the slow motion is overdone and obnoxious, especially after death.
It's fun at first, but it gets repetitive after the first 20 games played. Needs more content.
Nothing good about it. Just jump n shoot. No potential. Retro look and music is ok.
Awesome game. Love the older feel and simplicity of it.
Lastronaut for us is simply an awesome game to play. Your a astronaut fighting robots for Earth with cool weapons. Addicting and an awesome 8-bit action game. New weapons or levels would be nice. Awesome game.
This is such an amazing and simple game that is perfect for picking up when your bored. Super addicting though, so sometimes that minute might be a bit longer. Cheers to the dev and art team.
We love this game. Can play it for hours.
Its awesome but we cant double jump anymore help.
This game is by far one of the most entertaining and fun games we've ever played on a mobile device. It is truly amazing, we love the Michael Bay slow motion effects with it. The music is intriguing and thrilling, the graphics are smooth and retro. And this game is addicting. You just want to keep beating your high score. The awesome thing is that this game is already so great but it has even more potential. There could be parts of a gun that you pick up as you run. There could be boss battles. The possibilities are endless. This game deserves five stars. Now we shall go play more! Updated Review: MAKE NEW PERKS.
Thank you devs for a great game. The gameplay is fun and the simple controls and mechanics work really well together. We love the update. The option to turn off the intro is great. We purchased the gold suit to show our support. Please keep it up! We do wish we could choose what initial weapon we start out with. Or atleast have the drops have an icon to show what weapon. The laser is really awful. We stay away from it when we can.
Lastronaut is an amazing mini game. It's build is one of a professional level and the creators put every ounce of their effort into each minuscule detail. For what the game is, we'd give it a five-star rating. The developers of Lastronaut did a phenomenal job, and that is why this is one of our favorite games to use when we're trapped in a state of boredom.
We like this game. Infinite runners can be addicting and an absolute blast. This one is done well and we find the graphics very enjoyable. It has a slo-mo feature that adds to the game without becoming intrusive, especially since the developer added a toggle for this feature. -we'd like to see more enemy variation. Missiles and a bomb dropping floaty bot are getting boring. – also different types of weapons to complement the addition of the new enemies. Kudos for the addition of the upgrade system and different player skins.
This is a good game but you should put achievements, Druid or missions in which we need to conquer. YOU HAVE TO PUT MORE WEAPONS because the 4 basic weapons are getting boring. Plus if you can you should put new maps.
We agree with others saying that there should be new maps, weapons, and things like that; we agree. But overall this is a great game and has good potential.
Great game, can't wait to see more upgrades and perks.
Great game! The graphics are a perfect mix of past and present. Straight forward and simple. Our kind of game.
By far an addictive game. Hopefully there will be more perks and other additions coming to the game soon.
We go through games like crazy but trust us this game is worth keeping.
We're usually picky with apps but this app is so amazing and addicting and fun you should add that you can customize your guy or that you can unlock people. It runs so smooth on our crappy iphone 4s.
