Gameplay

Astronōka is officially described as a "space vegetable production and pest control game". The game revolves around the player cultivating vegetables on a fictional, futuristic star system. The objective is to win vegetable contests and eventually the All-Universe Vegetable Competition, while setting traps and defense to protect the farm against a species of pest called Baboo (バブー).

The Astronōka Original Soundtrack was published by Media Ring on September 2, 1998. It bears the catalog number MGCD-1063.

An anime series titled Baboo Factory (バブーファクトリー) was produced by Enix and broadcast on TV Asahi from 2001 to 2002 as part of the cooking program Wagamanma Kitchen. Each episode lasts one minute. Merchandise such as stickers, badges, mobile straps and mobile phone content based on Baboo were also produced.

Cosmogurashi: Online Teki Yasai Seikatsu, a massively multiplayer online game based in the Astronōka universe, was developed by MuuMuu, MicroVision and Community Engine and published by Enix on March 28, 2003. Its service was terminated on April 25, 2005.
