Eight levels of alien waves and two bosses
An alien armada is closing in, and in Galactic War your lone starfighter is all that stands in its way. This vertical-scrolling shooter has a retro pixel look and sends enemies in waves that each fly their own attack pattern. Eight levels turn up the pressure step by step, and two boss battles stand between you and victory.
How to play Galactic War
- Move your ship left and right along the bottom of the screen.
- Shoot down the alien waves and learn the pattern each group flies in.
- Dodge incoming fire, because your lives are limited.
- Clear all eight levels and defeat both bosses to win the war.

Tips to play better
- Keep moving between volleys; a ship that sits still in one column is easy to hit.
- Watch how a new wave enters before you commit to a position, then slide into the gaps.
- Thin out one side of a formation first to open a safe lane to work from.
- Against a boss, dodge first and shoot second; a lost life costs more than a few missed hits.

Galactic War FAQ
How many levels and bosses does Galactic War have?
Eight levels, with two boss battles along the way. Beating both bosses is what wins the war.
Why does it get so hectic in the later levels?
Enemy patterns grow denser as you progress, so later stages fill the screen with fire. Stay on the move and look for gaps before you look for targets.
