Galaga Arcade Game

The objective of the Galaga Arcade Game is to score as many points as possible by destroying insect-like enemies. The player controls a side-scrolling starfighter at the bottom of the playfield. Enemies swarm in groups information near the top of the screen, and then dive-bomb players, firing upon and attempting to crash into them.

The game ends when the player’s last fighter is lost, either by colliding with an enemy, its projectiles, or by being captured. Galaga Arcade Game introduced new features over its predecessor, Galaxian, including the ability to fire more than one shot at a time and a count of the player’s “hit/miss ratio” at the end of the game.
