Galax Defender

I truly regret buying this game. I read a few reviews prior to buying and I went ahead and bought this app anyways for the simple fact that it LOOKED like Galaga and I also figured maybe it isn’t as bad as they say it is. Well, this is my first review, ever. That alone says a lot. About 3 seconds into the game, I start noticing how laggy this game is beginning to look. I literally fired about 3 shots before the button some how got stuck, a digital button getting stuck yea that’s weird! Well I couldn’t shoot any of the enemies anymore, and the joystick to move the fighter was too sensitive. The large green enemy came down to capture my fighter right away, so I allowed it to happen. That’s how my game ended, literally. After that my new fighter couldn’t come out, the enemies were just flying around shooting at nothing. I was definitely wrong for ignoring the previous reviews. Don’t make the same mistake as I did and don’t buy this app. I would much rather spend $10 for the original Galaga on my iPhone X (if it was available) rather than $1.99 on a lowly put together rip off game.

At the end of every game it never returns to the start menu to play another game. I have to keep rebooting my iPad just to play another game. The controls are way off and hard to control the fighter ship. The original version of the arcade game was awesome. Everything looks like the original game right down to the exact colors and shapes characters on the screen, but the controls are horrible. I’d rate it 0 Stars, but it takes me back to the memories of playing the original arcade game. This games needs a lot of work so that the player can actually control their movements and to be able to return to the start menu without rebooting your device. Until that happens I definitely do not recommend anyone buying this game. Although I bought the game, I’m deleting it. Im very disappointed in the makers of this game. You’re ripping people off!!

Lots lots better since last update. Great game to have. Still needs some work. Would like if the enemy ship could capture one of mine like in the original game so I can have two ships shooting. Also don’t like the enemy fire shoots at me sideways instead of straight down. The two chooses for controls is better, I always liked the joystick best. It works a lot better since the last update. Almost deleted the game, glad I didn’t. I suggest you go down to Walmart and buy one of the mini games of Galaga they have and make this more like that. Love that I can rapid fire now like in the original. Keep up the good updates. My favorite game of all time.

The game glitches quite frequently. At the end of the round, where you’re typically guided to enter your tag for your score, it often simple stops and a tap of the screen stops the screen from moving, and you never quite get back to the menu. Or, when you are prompted to enter your initials, a single tap often skips the first initial and goes directly to the second. As mentioned by others in a previous review, the fire button does often get stuck, and captured fighters that should be returned, especially at the end of rounds, often don’t return at all. I don’t want to say that I wasted my money, because I would much rather these glitches be taken care of so that the game can be enjoyed to it’s fullest potential.

I haven’t had any problems with this game but it’s hard to control it. (In handheld mode) Since it is a touch screen you don’t have any feel for where the control buttons are and it’s too easy to slide off them and it stops moving. In full screen mode your finger blocks the screen and when your finger gets to close to the bottom or top of the screen it again stops moving. Request: can you make the left/right controls be controlled by the left/right tilt of the phone? Like driving a car. Also can you make the up volume button be an alternate fire button? Then you would have a feel for the button. Thanks!
