Galacide

Galacide combines fast-paced space-shooter action with tactical puzzle-solving. You pilot a ship through an alien invasion, fighting enemies while tunneling through the advancing Bitwall. Neglecting either task can lead to your ship being destroyed, so you need to balance combat with clearing a path. You can play alone or in local co-op with up to four players.

Ships

Choose from four ships, each with distinct abilities and attributes:

• Mining Ship: A retrofitted asteroid-mining vessel with a balance of agility, strength and firepower. Its tractor beam pulls in enemy Scrap.
• Freighter: A durable cargo hauler that is not as fast or hard-hitting as other ships. It can store and retrieve enemy Scrap in its cache.
• Phase Ship: A military experiment that moves quickly and can temporarily phase through the Bitwall while dodging enemy attacks.
• Military Ship: A standard military craft with considerable strength and firepower. Its homing missiles lock onto targets, and it can burst through the Bitwall to carve its own path.

Campaign and destinations

In the campaign, you travel through unique environments and challenges to find the source of the invasion and eliminate it. Destinations include asteroid fields, planets, mining depots and junk yards, each bringing you closer to the source.

Game modes

• Campaign: Fight through varied environments and challenges to discover and eliminate the source of the alien invasion.
• Endless Play: Face endless enemy hordes and tunnel through the advancing Bitwall to see how far you can get.
• Puzzle Play: Complete increasingly difficult scenarios that test your thinking rather than your trigger finger.
• 4 Player Co-op: Team up locally with up to three other players to fight the invasion.

The game also includes an in-game tutorial and leaderboards for comparing your results with friends and other players. It has achievements, trading cards, badges and collectible emoticons.
