Galaxia

Galaxia is a horizontally scrolling shooter from Kuma Computers. Pilot your jet across an alien planet while facing ten short waves of creatures moving from right to left.

The enemies become progressively more dangerous, from the relatively harmless Rammers to erratic Mushys and Spiders, armed Swoopers, and extremely fast Baiters. Destroying enemies earns points, with tougher creatures awarding more, while contact with aliens or their projectiles costs a jet.

After the ten waves, a vibrating starship appears. Carefully touching the nose of your jet to the exact center of its rear earns bonus points, but even a narrow miss destroys your jet. Once the starship leaves, the screen changes color and the cycle returns to the Rammers at a slightly higher speed.
