Galaxian

Description:

Get The Galaxian invasion starts off with a bang. Instantly, an entire fleet of invaders  descends toward the planet.

The Galaxian fleet is fast and strong.
They attack in waves, approaching faster and faster with each wave.

The Galaxian ability to pull off the unexpected forces you to use foresight and caution plus cunning and skill.

The initial attack is thwarted, but the battle isn't over.

They'll be back, stronger than ever.

Use your accurate aim and quick reflexes, as well as strategy and forethought.
A foolish move could cost you the battle and the planet.
