It allows users to play remakes of the games in the Galaxian series.[3] It is free to download and comes with Galaga's predecessor, Galaxian.[4] The remakes of Galaga, Gaplus, and Galaga '88 are available as in-app purchases either separately or as a bundle.[5] The graphics from the original games are shaded to look "glossy", and music is added to parts that did not have music in the original games.[6] The application has also a one and a half minute long CGI video that plays as an intro before the title screen which[7] features "Galaga points" and is collected as the games are played and are used to unlock various consumable power-ups and special arcade cabinet designs, including the original art for each game.[5]
The application was pulled from the App Store on March 31, 2017.[8]
