Sometimes you might even come across a boss.\u00a0 Nab power-ups to give you extra firepower, refill health, or suck in enemies like in Gaplus (Galaga 3).<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll gather other items as you play that you can use to upgrade your fleet in a separate menu.\u00a0 Only problem is that while they explain all this in a tutorial, they don\u2019t explain it very well.\u00a0 They\u2019ll tell you to click on things but not why you are doing that or what you are doing does.\u00a0 But I\u2019ve noticed a lot of mobile games are like this.\u00a0 The game tries to add a story with generic anime characters, but I just skipped all that, although some of the characters look kind of cool.\u00a0 At the very least, since it\u2019s free I\u2019d say it\u2019s worth checking out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/galaga_screen-3\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19323\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/GALAGA_SCREEN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/GALAGA_SCREEN.jpg 450w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/GALAGA_SCREEN-150x85.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/GALAGA_SCREEN-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You shoot spaceships and bugs that explode when defeated and that\u2019s about as violent as it gets.\u00a0 Some of the female characters wear slightly suggestive outfits and reading skill is helpful for the text, but not necessary just to play.\u00a0 Parental supervision is recommended for the in-game ads and purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video game maker Namco has created some of the most well known arcade games around (and they\u2019re my favorite game company, too).\u00a0 From classics like Pac-Man to more modern hits like Tekken, Namco is one of the greats.\u00a0 Another one of their popular arcade classics is Galaga, and now you can enjoy yet another game [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":19322,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19337"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19339,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19337\/revisions\/19339"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
