About this game
Move the Galaxip left and right below the alien formation. Enemies break away to dive toward you, using both missiles and their own bodies to attack. You must keep a firing line without remaining where a diving enemy is headed. Only one missile can be in flight: the next shot waits until it has left the screen. Scores also vary with the alien type and whether it is in formation or attacking, so firing timing and target choice matter together.
