Astro Flight Celestial Sprint has taken India's mobile gaming scene by storm since its 2022 release. This high-speed space racer combines traditional Indian astronomy concepts with modern arcade gameplay, creating a uniquely Indian gaming experience that has surpassed 5 million downloads in India alone.
Developed by Mumbai-based Celestial Studios, the game features Indian mythological elements like the Navagraha (nine planets) and Rakshasa (demon) obstacles. Players race through cosmic tracks representing Indian constellations while collecting traditional Indian sweets for power-ups.
