About This Game
Game Introduction
Galaga is a classic arcade space shooter where you control a starfighter defending against waves of alien enemies. The core objective is to survive each wave by destroying all enemy ships while avoiding their attacks. What makes this game unique is its ship rescue mechanic: some enemies can capture your ship with a tractor beam, and if you rescue it, you gain a second ship for double firepower. This adds strategic depth to the fast-paced shooting action.
How to Play
Players typically move their ship left and right across the bottom of the screen while firing lasers at incoming enemy formations. The goal is to eliminate all enemies in each wave without being hit. Some enemies follow predictable flight patterns, while others dive straight at you, requiring quick reflexes. If an enemy captures your ship, you can shoot it down to rescue your ship and gain an extra vessel. The game continues until all your ships are lost, with each wave increasing in speed and complexity.
