Thrust into the cosmic courtroom of Heaven itself, you’re cast as a mischievous soul whose notorious antics have landed you in hot (or rather, divine) water — again. This isn’t your average trial; instead, Astral Courthouse challenges you to survive a series of escalating trials teeming with whimsical but deadly angelic creatures and devious obstacles that put both your focus and timing to the ultimate test.

Inspired by the theme of "Balance" from the renowned Gamedev.JS jam, Astral Courthouse seamlessly fuses the motif of justice scales and cosmic order with addictive arcade action. Your goal? Outsmart the celestial jury by dodging righteous rage, collecting shimmering 'shinies', and restoring your cosmic karma—all while running the tightrope between chaos and order.

Built on HTML5 for smooth browser play, Astral Courthouse boasts a vibrant pixel-art style, combining playful pastel hues with sharp, pixel-perfect animations that bring the astral plane to life. Each courtroom is uniquely designed—expect dynamic hazards, shifting platforms, and cunning AI foes keeping you literally on your toes. With a challenging difficulty level, the game rewards quick thinking, rapid reflexes, and strategic risk-taking. Can you survive the relentless onslaught of angelic enforcers and prove your innocence, or will the cosmic gavel fall?

Perfect for fans of indie gems, challenging arcade experiences, and those who appreciate wit and irreverent humor, Astral Courthouse delivers heart-pounding action and a chance to tip the divine scales your way—if you’re brave enough to face the otherworldly trials.
