Adds even more aggression to the formula than Galaxian and freshens things up a bit with a boss fight at the end.

Hey look, another space shooter from the 80s! Oh boy, there certainly isn’t too many of those! Is there anything different about this one? Uh… not really, except for it having a prevalent separate boss, which most video games at the time didn’t have at the time, but other then that, it is about what you would expect. Still, it is alright, and it certainly isn’t the worst of the genre that I have seen.

For a Galaga inspired 1980 game it's pretty interesting, it has a distinct aesthetic and an actual boss fight, but the hitboxes of enemies feel smaller than they should be so it loses a few points.

Its always interesting to see how the game developers tried to differentiate themselves without being complete rip offs. This one went with a lot of space birds that you could shoot the wings off if you don't get a direct hit or shoot them before they hatch and a weird boss space ship level that you try to bust through the squishy underside with a million shots to get the queen or whatever in the middle. Rinse and repeat. Its fun and and nice change of pace from the usual classics but isn't going to replace galaga or any of those any time soon.
