Better than Galaga, Joust, and Defender combined. I would love to play this game on the iiRcade home arcade cabinet. Very controller friendly. Check out my video review here: https://youtu.be/JATe_pYwV28
Grafikleri ve oynanışı kusursuz. Retro oyunları sevenler kaçırmasın.
While this might be a variation of Defender, I actually prefer the aesthetic to this, especially the main character's sprites. It has a classic old school feel to it and I absolutely love the experience.

Un juego que realmente recoge la esencia de los salones recreativos de los 80 y te engancha cosa mala. Con unos gráficos muy coloristas y una música pegadiza, este juego posee la endiablada dificultad de aquellos tiempos en los que un simple toque te hacia perder moneda tras moneda. Dispone de tabla de clasificación online, otro de los pilares de los juegos de antaño. ¡Tenías que ser el mejor del barrio! XD Muy recomendable si tienes máquina recreativa o joystick arcade y te apetece montar unos piques con los colegas.

[i]Galacticon[/i]'s influences are well documented here. All I can say is that not only is it extremely rad, but it has creative scoring and some neat secrets to puzzle out.
This game is practically perfect. The Williams vibes are strong, controls are tight, and the audio is out of this world. This might just be the best modern-retro arcade game ever.
Really fun old school arcade that perfectly captures the essence of the classics from the early '80s as Defender or Joust. The psychodelic visuals, the chiptune audio, the direct, intuitive, challenging and fun gameplay... it deserves the few bucks of its too cheap price. On top of that it adds some new, clever and effective game design twists to the classic game mechanics.
Old school Arcade. Yeah!
This game blends gameplay from two of my favorite classic arcade games: Defender and Joust. If you like those two games, and are interested in a mashup of the two, plus some bonus levels and global leaderboards (by year, not just forever scores), this is well worth checking out. Oh, and the price is right, even if it's not on sale. Am hoping to see many more modern game mashups like this. I see them now and again and they demand replays. Our gaming group is score chasing this one at the time this review was written and seeing some good scores come in. This plays good on the Deck, but even better with arcade controls, for those who can play it that way.
