Galactoids: Galactic Invaders

Galactoids: Galactic Invaders is a retro-styled arcade shoot ’em up where you fight swarms of alien fighters called galactoids and take on giant bosses across 12 stages. The stages become progressively harder, leading to a final showdown in a Boss Stage. You can play challenges to unlock pickups and other items, and raise your score in bonus waves and bonus challenge stages.

Arcade and challenge games

The arcade version starts you with 3 lives. The game also includes two challenges:

• Galacteroids: Stranded in deep space inside a wormhole, you shoot an endless supply of galactoids and try to rank on the online leaderboard. Unlock pickups in the arcade version to use here.
• Flappy Galactoids: Guide a small galactoid between pipes and collect pickups. You have one life to score as much as you can, unlock pickups for the arcade version and rank your online score.

Local two-player games

The Nerdcon Challenge was made for the first Nerdcon event at The Arcade Club in Bury, UK, and features the event’s creators and hosts, Brad Burton and Paul Spicer of Twitch’s Middle Aged Gamer Guy.
