00:00I think the charm of it comes from its round shapes and endearing looks.

00:18Think about a little bean-shaped robot that has a giant head that looks like a 60s TV.

00:24The design of Astro is slightly baby-like, a little bit clumsy, and the animation of course plays a massive part into that.

00:33Depending on the situation, the animation of Astro has a lot of variation, so I feel the same way when I'm playing it.

00:41I feel happy, and I'm happy when I'm happy.

00:43Astro is a machine, but it has a heart.

00:48It's a friend, and it's brave. It's like a guide in the world of toys.

00:58It can touch anything, it can break anything, it can do anything.

01:02It leads the player and explores a lot.

01:09Another big part of the game being charming is what you hear.

01:15The music has to be there so that you actually want to run around and jump, jump, jump,

01:20because the music is actually inviting you to do that.

01:24Even if you listen to it over and over again, it doesn't make you feel bad at all.

01:29I think that's really important when making game music.

01:36What do you hope for the people who play this game?

01:38For me, it will be engaged on two levels.

01:41One that is just smiles and joy as a child,

01:44and as a parent potentially having the chance to rekindle that fire of your youth.

01:49You basically just grin all the way playing this game.
