Very fun but I have one complaint
Remtime
When you pause the game I expect the game to pause the game continued and I died. Hope this gets fixed because it's a small thing but will get annoying
GALAXY WHAT I NEEDED!!

Sherwood Forest USA is an idiot. This game is PERFECT!! I am right-handed as well and have NO PROBLEMS with the controls. This is typically what you do for controls. You move with your left and fire with your right. Brilliant game. I love the music also. I have Warblade as well, and it's a nice game, but Galaxoid is better. And better yet, Galaxoid didn't cost me 2.99. Galaxoid provides hours and hours of pure gaming fun that harkens back to a time that makes me respond to the question, "Where's the beef?", by saying, "Well, there you go again."
Space Invaders/Galaga Love Child!!

I worshiped Space Invaders back in 1981 on Atari. It may have been the only Atari game that I actually flipped or maxed the score on. I also loved Galaga in the arcade and it would be coin toss between that and Ms. Pacman. Galaxoid is obviously referencing those two games, but with a nice modern flavor. I love the boss fights, which add another level of difficulty as the gameplay gradually ramps up after you defeat the boss. The little touches of interactive power ups and laser beams are a great addition. While, I can see how some may disagree with your spaceship staying at the bottom of the screen the whole time, I disagree about the touch controls being terrible. they could stand to be a little more like Plasma Sky, but it's fine the way it is. Maybe the addition of an auto shooter could be cool, but it's not necessary. Get this game if you love Space Invaders, Galaga, or modern iOS shmups!! It will have a permanent home on my iPad, for sure.
Very, very nice

Yes, this type of game has been done before, but this version was a wonderful surprise, better than many attempts to recreate old arcade games. I found the controls easy, comfortable: tap to shoot. Almost hypnotic background music, nice, relaxing, but non-interfering with game. I love the old arcade games. So I was pleased to find this one, a gem. Thank you to the developer.
A NICE LITTLE ADDICTIVE SPACE INVADERS / GALAGA HYBRID
