I am proud to announce that Ad Astra: Sci-Fi Tower Defense will support both Steam Deck & Steam Cloud saves on release!

Steam Deck:
You will need to bump the graphics settings to "Low" to maximize performance, but the game is certainly playable on Steam Deck, without Proton or compatibility settings needed!

You will find a custom button layout template available for download but I have outlined the key buttons below in case you wish to make your own setup.

WASD - ideally bound to Left joystick
Right Trackpad - Mouse control

Time Dilation 1-4 - D-Pad (Down = 1x, Left = 2x, Up = 4x, Right = 6x)

Left click/Confirm - Right bumper
Right click/Cancel - Left bumper

Left stick click - Hide building UI
Right stick click - Reset camera/overview

A - Pause game
B - Right mouse click/cancel (duplicate)
X - Rotate building placement left
Y - Rotate building placement right

Left Trigger - Rotate camera left
Right Trigger - Rotate camera right

Backgrip L4 - Tilt camera up
Backgrup R4 - Tilt camera down
Backgrup L5 - Mouse scroll wheel down, zoom out
Backgrup L6 - Mouse scroll wheel up, zoom in

You can always setup your own preference but these are the official bindings available for use. This post should help remind you what you need to bind :]

Steam Cloud:
The player's progress will be backed up, not the user settings. This way, the resolution and performance are not carried over from your tower to the Steam Deck, or vice-versa. None of that annoying resolution swaps or quality adjustments on machine swap! :]

Cheers everyone!
