Galaga

Shooting and gunplay

A classic arcade shooter where you pilot a fighter along the bottom of the screen and blast waves of insect-like aliens. The tractor beam that captures your ship, which you can rescue for double firepower, gives it its hook.

Space Invaders

Shooting and gunplay

You move a laser cannon along the bottom of the screen and try to shoot down rows of aliens that speed up as their numbers thin out. It is a simple but timeless arcade shooter whose appeal lies in its rhythm and the mounting pressure of the advancing wave.

Ultratron

Shooting and gunplay

Ultratron is a frantic twin-stick arcade shooter in the spirit of Robotron 2084, where you play the last battle droid blasting waves of killer robots. Neon retro visuals, driving sound and upgrades between levels make for a hypnotic flow.

Droid Assault

Pixel art

A fast-paced retro arcade shooter where you blast your way through hordes of hostile killer robots. Droids you acquire fight alongside you as a small squad, adding a touch of tactics to the shooting.

Platypus

Fast pace

A fast, frantic arcade shoot-'em-up with a tongue-in-cheek premise about an overcrowded city invading its neighbour. You pilot a ship through waves of enemies in classic score-chasing style.
