Galaga Overview
Galaga - Demons of Death is a vertical shooter where the player operates a spacecraft. This ship moves horizontally along the screen's base to engage enemy formations and evade their assaults.
Performance is tracked through a final score and a statistical breakdown shown upon game over. This summary includes a hit ratio, detailing the quantity of shots fired and enemies eliminated.
Alien forces employ various tactics, including dive bomb attacks and the use of tractor beams. If a beam captures the player's fighter, it can be rescued by destroying the captor, resulting in a dual ship formation with combined firepower.
The structure consists of an endless sequence of stages, with a challenging pattern recurring every third level. These designated challenge stages offer a risk free opportunity to destroy targets for bonus points.
