Jan 17, 2023If you enjoy arcade-style score attack action games, Galacticon is a must-have. While it isn’t hard to identify where it draws inspiration from, the overall experience threads the needle of being fresh and vaguely nostalgic all at once. It’s a bit no-nonsense, with only a single mode and a small set of options, but the QR code-based high score chart ensures you’ve always got a reason to come back. Great fun.

Jun 8, 2022Galacticon pays homage to games like Joust, Asteroids, and Defender, but adds its own elements to make it feel fresh. The strategy around how to get the best score for each run certainly makes for a challenging and addictive game. My only complaint is that you don’t get information about how points are earned until you beat the first level. But for only $4.99 and the amount of enjoyment I’ve gotten out of Galacticon, this game is worth picking up, especially if you are a fan of arcade-style games.
