How To Play
You control the Fighter at the bottom with the joystick. Press the fire button to fire up at the Galaga formation. The Galaga formation will fly on to the screen in parts until the formation is assembled. You must destroy every enemy in the formation to advance to the next stage, while avoiding contact with every enemy and their bullets.
Diving enemies are worth more points than those in formation. The more escorts that a Boss Galaga dives with, the more points it's worth. Occasionally, Boss Galagas will hover in midair and emit a tractor beam. Enter the tractor beam to get captured. Once a Fighter is captured, rescue it (but don't shoot it) from a diving Boss Galaga (not in formation) to have it rejoin you for double fire power. Challenging Stages test your accuracy. Earn more bonus points for more enemies destroyed.
