Astronaut app and APK download: why there is no official app and how to tell the original from a clone
There is no official Astronaut app. 100HP Gaming built the game in HTML5 for the browser, which means that every file called “Astronaut APK” comes from someone else, and Pakistani users do search for one: Ahrefs counts about 470 monthly searches for “apk” phrases and 430 for “android” phrases around this game. This guide shows how to tell the original from a clone. The status first: online gambling is not legal or regulated in Pakistan, and no operator holds a Pakistani licence, which is why a download page can promise anything.
Does 100HP publish an Astronaut app?
No. The provider’s catalogue marks Astronaut as having a mobile version and a dedicated mobile URL, and the studio describes an HTML5 game that “loads even on 2G networks”. A casino can show the game inside its own site or its own app, but then that is the casino’s software, not a 100HP product. A page that offers “the official 100HP Astronaut app, v2.2, 9.4 MB” is quoting a file the studio never published.
For you: the safest installer for Astronaut is the browser you already have. The demand is large (Ahrefs, Pakistan, 12 October 2026: roughly 1,200 monthly searches around the word “download” across 187 related phrases), so expect a lot of pages built to catch it.
Which files and games are sold under the Astronaut name?
Five different things share the name, and only the first is the game this site describes.
| What you meet | What it really is | How you can tell |
|---|---|---|
| Astronaut, crash game | 100HP Gaming, launched 2025; rocket, rising multiplier, Withdraw button | Opens in a browser; client page title “Astronaut”; two bet panels |
| “Astronaut APK” on a download site | A third-party file; the studio ships no APK | Asks you to allow installs from unknown sources |
| A casino’s own app that lists Astronaut | The casino’s software wrapped around the game | Carries the casino’s name, not 100HP’s; terms are the casino’s |
| Astronaut, arcade on app stores | A casual game by Nine Key Technology, dated 2016; no bets | No multiplier, no Withdraw, no Hash |
| Astronaut by Red Tiger | A different studio’s slot-style “burst game” from 2023 | One reel and a prize ladder instead of a crash curve |
For you: the arcade and the Red Tiger game are legitimate products of other companies; the danger sits in the APK row and in mistaking one product for another. The comparison of crash games lays out the homonyms.
What can a sideloaded APK do that a browser tab cannot?
An APK from a download page skips the review that Google Play applies, and installing it means switching on installs from unknown sources for that file. Once installed, an app can ask for permissions that a website cannot hold in the same way, such as access to storage, contacts or text messages. A browser tab runs inside the browser’s sandbox and loses its access when you close it.
Pakistan adds a second risk. On 22 August 2025 the NCCIA declared 46 apps linked to illegal betting and unregulated trading unlawful, asked the PTA to block them with immediate effect and told citizens to delete any of the banned apps. By 20 September 2025 the PTA had reported 260 blocked websites and apps. Google Play, for its part, allows real-money gambling apps only in selected countries, for operators holding a local gambling licence, and according to secondary sources Pakistan is not among them. For you: a gambling APK is the kind of file citizens have already been told to delete, and it can carry malware in the meantime.
How do you tell the original Astronaut from a clone in five steps?
- Open the game in a browser, not through a download.If a page makes you install something before the first round, close it.
- Look at the screen.The original shows a white rocket on a black sky, a red flight curve, two bet panels with Bet and Withdraw, Autobet and Autowithdrawal, and a Last rounds strip of coloured chips.
- Find the Provably fair badge and the round details.Round ID, Hash, Salt and Multiplier are the studio’s own labels. A clone usually has none.
- Open Rules of play and Game limits.You should see an RTP line, a bet range and a maximum payout. A page that quotes 10,000x or 50,000x as the ceiling is describing a different game.
- Compare with the official demo.Open the demo from the studio’s game card and put both screens side by side. The look, the buttons and the balance of $10,000 must match.

Play Astronaut with the bonusWhich phones and browsers run Astronaut?
Any current browser. Android phones make up 89.77% of mobile operating systems in Pakistan and iOS 10.18% (StatCounter, September 2026), so Chrome on a mid-range Android phone is the case that matters most. Pakistan counts about 117 million internet users (DataReportal, October 2025 data) and mobile data is the main access, so the studio’s 2G claim is a feature, not decoration. The round itself plays the same on every device, as the walkthrough of one round shows.
| Device | How to open Astronaut | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Android phone | Chrome or any browser, on the casino’s page or the official demo | Pages that ask to install an APK first |
| iPhone | Safari or Chrome; the game is HTML5, no App Store file | App Store titles called Astronaut are other games |
| PC or laptop | Any current browser; searches for “astronaut game pc” show about 150 people a month want this | Emulators and “PC versions” are unnecessary |
| Any connection | The demo took about 30 seconds to show the full interface in an ordinary tab in our test | A black screen means wait or retry, never install |
What should you do next?
Close any tab that asks for an install and open the game in the browser instead. If a file is already on your phone, uninstall it, then follow the clean-up steps in the predictor and signals guide. The mobile page, Astronaut app and mobile, covers the browser route in short, and the real-or-fake guide shows how to run the Fairness check once you are in.

What else do players ask about the Astronaut app?
Is there an Astronaut app on Google Play?
Titles called Astronaut on Google Play are casual games, such as the 2016 arcade by Nine Key Technology, not 100HP’s crash game. Google Play allows real-money gambling apps only in selected countries with a licence, and Pakistan is not among them according to secondary sources. Any real-money “Astronaut” you install in Pakistan therefore comes from outside the store.
Is the 9.4 MB “v2.2” Astronaut APK real?
No. That figure comes from affiliate and APK pages. 100HP publishes no APK and no app version numbers; the “2” in astronaut2 is the second generation of the browser client, not a version of an app. A file with those numbers is a third-party package, and you cannot tell from its size what it does on your phone.
Does Astronaut work on an iPhone?
Yes, in the browser. The provider’s catalogue lists a mobile version and a dedicated mobile address, and iOS holds about 10% of phones in Pakistan. There is no App Store version from 100HP. A casino may publish its own app, but it is the casino’s, so check its terms and whether the PTA has blocked it.
Can I play Astronaut on a PC?
Yes. The game is HTML5 and runs in any current desktop browser, which is why “astronaut game pc” brings roughly 150 monthly searches in Pakistan. You need no emulator, launcher or “PC version”. The official demo gives $10,000 of play credits on a desktop screen too, and it needed about 30 seconds to load fully in our test.
Is a casino’s own app the same as the studio’s game?
The game inside is the same 100HP product, but the app around it, the account, the cashier and the terms belong to the casino. Online gambling is not legal or regulated in Pakistan, so no regulator checks that app, and the NCCIA told citizens in August 2025 to delete banned betting apps. Prefer the browser to keep your phone clean.
