I would recommend that you don’t take it too seriously, as I could see some major frustration being caused by lack of responsiveness from the controls. Honestly, this game is a fabulous implementation of the classic. Using the keyboard allows you to have an unobstructed view of the screen, but you can’t move and shoot at the same time. Also, shooting your weapons takes some getting used to. The touch screen is a more effective method of moving around the screen, but having the stylus to the screen can obstruct your view at times.

Landscape mode is handled a little differently the game takes up the full height of the screen, with game art on either side of the playing area (almost like an arcade).īoth control methods have their ups and downs.

In portrait mode, the game takes up the most of the screen on my Touch Pro2 the game area is centered vertically. My concerns were unfounded, as Galaga handles both options with elegance. One concern I had with Galaga, was how it would handle portrait and landscape orientations. Both methods perform fairly well although I did notice that while navigating with the keyboard, it was impossible to move and shoot at the same time. Also, a stylus can be used with your touchscreen in order to steer and shoot. The Space or Enter keys can be used to shoot. For those devices featuring a QWERTY keyboard, the arrow keys (or the A and D keys) can be used to steer your ship.

While there aren’t options for configuring your control set, there are multiple methods of controlling your ship. The first feature that I want to bring up is the controls. Galaga for Windows Phones has some very cool features that make the game very playable.
