About the application:

Galaga, score as a lot of points as possible by destroying insect-like opponents. The user controls a starfighter that can move left and right along the bottom of the playfield. Opponents swarm in groups in a formation near the top of the screen, and then start flying down toward the user, firing bullets at and attempting to crash into them. In later stages, some opponents even break from an entering group in a frantic attempt to crash into the user. The mini game ends when the player's latest warrior is lost by colliding with an opponent, statistic at the end of the mini game, and a premium "Challenging Scene" that occurs every few stages, in which a series of opponents fly onto and off the screen in set patterns without firing at the player's ship or trying to crash into it. When you destroy a group of opponents, you are awarded 1500 points.These stages award a 10K-point premium if the user manages to destroy every opponent, but otherwise 100 premium points for every opponent destroyed. Other feature in the mini game is for opponents to randomly transform and organize into a certain formation, which awards the user premium points if they manage to successfully destroy it Another video test feature fresh is the ability for opponents to capture the player's warrior. While the user is in control of just one warrior, a "boss" Galaga, (which takes two hits to slay, the first hit will turn it purple) will periodically attempt to capture the warrior using a tractor beam. If successful, the warrior joins the opponent formation as a satellite to the boss Galaga, which captured it. The captive warrior becomes an opponent, turns red, and likewise, it can be shot and destroyed. The user can still fire while being captured up to the point their ship "touches" the captor, which should be considered an occasion to shoot the captor down before it can manage to successfully capture the user. Captive warriors can be freed by destroying the boss Galaga, towing it while it is attacking. The freed warrior will then combine with the player's warrior who freed them, offering doubled firepower but with the disadvantage of a target twice as really big. If the user destroys the captor while it is still in formation, the captured warrior will not be rescued, and will instead fly away after a diving run (assuming the user does not destroy it) to appear in the next scene as a satellite for other boss Galaga, where it can once more be rescued
