The legendary space shooter and sequel to Galaxian. Shoot down waves of alien fighters that swoop and dive in formation. Let the boss capture your ship to create a powerful dual fighter!
Galaga keeps the core loop simple and lets the difficulty do the talking. The goal is distance, points, or survival — sometimes all three at once. Controls: Tap, click, or hit the spacebar. Arcade games live and die by how quickly you can input the next action. Tips to get better: Pay attention to visual cues — most games telegraph what's coming a half-second before it happens. Every game has a rhythm. Find it early, commit to it, and your scores will climb fast. The best players aren't the fastest — they just make fewer mistakes per round. If you're drawn to games with a galaga flavor, Galaga hits that spot cleanly. Galaga is the kind of game you'll keep open in a tab for weeks.
