Galaga Space Invaders Arcade

A Galaga stage every minute, right on your wrist.

This animated watch face plays the arcade shooter Galaga with the colourful bugs of Galaga Arrangement, over a slowly scrolling galaxy. On every minute a new stage begins:

• The formation flies in, wave after wave of bosses, butterflies and bees looping into their places
• The formation breathes in and out, wings beating, as it waits
• Bugs peel off one or two at a time and dive at your fighter in sweeping loops, firing as they come
• Your fighter slides across the bottom of the screen, dodging every shot and picking the bugs off one by one
• Each hit ends in a burst of sparks, until the last bug falls and the field is clear for the next stage

Five different stages take turns through the hour, each with its own entry waves and its own rhythm of dives. Once an hour, on the hour, the stage ends with a boss: King Galaspark comes down, turns redder with every hit and finally explodes.

The HUD is the arcade's, in its own pixel lettering:
• HIGH SCORE shows the time, in big pixel figures, following your 12/24-hour setting
• 1UP shows today's steps as your score
• The reserve ships show your battery, one ship for every quarter of charge
• The stage badges show the day of the month

The stage follows the clock, so wherever you look the action is exactly where the time says it should be.

In always-on mode the game goes dark and only a dim clock stays lit, gently shifting position to protect your screen.

Made for fans of Galaga, Galaga Arrangement and Galaxian, of Namco's arcade classics, of space shooters and shoot 'em ups, and of retro arcade games, pixel art and gaming watch faces.
