Galaga is that classic arcade shooter where you’re a tiny spaceship at the bottom of the screen, staring down waves of alien bugs that dive-bomb you in these weird, hypnotic patterns. It’s like Galaxian’s angrier older brother—same vibe, but the aliens get way more aggressive, and some even try to tractor-beam your ship away if you’re not careful.

First few minutes? You’re just blasting away at formations, feeling like a space ace… until the swarm starts kamikaze-diving and suddenly you’re mashing the spacebar like your life depends on it (because it kinda does). The controls are dead simple—arrows to dodge, space to shoot—but good luck surviving past stage 3 without sweating a little.

Fun fact: If you let a specific enemy capture your ship and then rescue it later, you get double firepower. Worth the risk? Absolutely not, but it looks cool.
