It looks like a Galaxian -type game, and I am wondering whether anyone has played it. It's $4.99--kind of pricey for the type of game it is--so I don't want to buy it unless it's good....or until the price goes down Alien Swarm Codewave Games Classic style arcade shooter with smooth graphics, intuitive controls and extra men at 10,000 points.

It's well done, but they need to tweak the difficulty. You can get the "sidecar" powerups that give you more firepower pretty easily. So here's my experience with the game: easy, easy, sidecar upgrade, easy, sidecar upgrade, easy, sidecar upgrade etc.... I think I had like 6 or so. In the meanwhile I got to a high level which was harder with more aliens swarming down, but with 6 shots at once, it was still easy. Then I died once, and lost all the sidecars. Then it was crazy hard and I died like 4-5 times in a quick succession. arn Carlos-Sz Well-Known Member Nov 5, 2008 2,712 11 38 #6 Carlos-Sz, Dec 16, 2008 Last edited: Dec 16, 2008 I like the game but Arn is right about the gameplay. However, I don't remember if the real arcade version of Galaga/Galaxian was that way too. But I'm posting now to let you know that a new version was released today adding bonus round. And there's a Lite (free) version now.

This was among my very first iOS games, and back then it was actually really good. Not sure if it's held up compared to what we have nowadays, but I've redownloaded to give it another shot. Regardless, that's some crazy good support for an 8 year old game! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
