DAILY CHALLENGE
GALAGA
Ships · Shooting · Galaga (Namco, 1981)
Shoot down the formation as it dives.
Free play does not count for the leaderboard: it keeps your best on this device only. Today's challenge is one run per person.
HOW IT PLAYS
The formation comes from the day's map: enemies worth 10, 20, 30 and 50 points, plus rows of shields that wear down. The yellow ones are the elite: they take two shots (turning orange after the first) and fire three times instead of once while diving.
From wave 3 everything that dives shoots twice, and from wave 5 there can be two dives at the same time.
CONTROLS
Left, right and FIRE. As in the original, there is no up or down.
On screen: LEFT/RIGHT FIRE SHOOTS

TO SCORE MORE
· Killing a diver is worth double. Shooting the still formation is safe and cheap; letting them come down and hunting them in the air is where the score is.
· Yellows pay 100 on a dive but need two hits: land only one and it comes at you orange and firing three times.
· Shields wear down shot by shot, yours included if you fire from underneath. Step aside when you want to keep them.
· The wave bonus grows: 300, 600, 900... Clearing fast beats fine marksmanship on wave 1.
