Overview
Description

Galaga puts you in control of a starfighter that slides along the bottom of the screen, blasting waves of insect‑like enemies that dive in formation. The goal is to rack up the highest score while avoiding enemy fire and the occasional tractor‑beam capture. The game adds dual‑shot firepower, a bonus Challenging Stage, and a unique capture‑and‑rescue mechanic that lets you free a captured ship for double firepower. Play solo or with friends, and watch the level counter roll over at 255 for a nostalgic glitch experience.

Space Invaders Extreme 2 delivers fast‑paced, action‑packed gameplay that builds on the classic formula with new head‑to‑head battle modes and a challenging time‑attack mode. Players experience an expanded progression system that pushes beyond Fever Time into the exhilarating Super Fever Time, keeping the experience fresh and intense.
