A V2 of this game is now available. Download here If you had trouble with the spawns then re-download now because they are fixed. This Map is a re-imagination of the popular NES game entitled "Galaga" put into the setting of Halo 3. This game is really fun to play if you are just waiting for a friend to join your game or if no one is online and you just want to pass some time. Here's an overview of the playing field The basic Idea of the game is that fusion coils (Alien Spacecrafts lol) are thrown at the player and the player has to destroy them before they reach him and explode. Seems simple and easy right? Wrong!! The waves of attackers start off slowly but the intensity increases with each new wave of enemies creating a very difficult and addicting mini-game. Each game has three rounds that each last 3 minutes. The first 60 seconds of each round is considered "Level 1." There are basically no distractions and all you need to worry about are ground units. The next 90 seconds is "Level 2." You will know it is level 2 because of the blue glow that appears around the stage. This is when the player begins to be bombarded by air units. The last 30 seconds of each round is the "Boss Level." This chaotic 30 seconds will seem to last forever. The large amount of enemies and distractions makes the Boss Level very difficult. Coming out victorious is very rewarding. All of the filters appear when the round ends to signify victory. You will not have to play in this condition. You start out each round with a magnum. Throughout the 3 minutes you will earn power-ups (new weapons) that will help you to cope with a larger amount of enemies. At 30 seconds you will recieve a carbine. This weapon is a step up from the magnum, but not by much. Its rapid fire abilities will make it easier to take out ground units. At 60 seconds you will recieve a BR. This weapon is excelent for taking out all types of units, but especially flying ones. (see pic of Level 2) At 90 Seconds you will recieve a brute shot. This weapon is by far the best way to take out ground units, but picking off fusion coils flying through the air could prove to be difficult. The scoring for this game is based completely on how long you survive. Your total score is the sum of your scores of each individual round. I have made a scoring chart so that everyone can see what their score means. 45-75................Nub 76-150..............Below Average 151-195............Average 196-330............Above Average 331-510............Amazing 511-540............Unbelievable Download Galaga Donload Gametype "NES" This game is meant for one player, but is compatible for two. Just make sure that you are on the same team. Post how you do (Scores or pics/vids) as well as comments for a possible V2. If you get frustrated I might give some hints/tips to help you out.
I really like the idea of this map. It has a certin feel when playing that makes it super fun. I had a question though, can you play two or four players with it? If so that would be awsome, if not, then i'd suggest that you make another version for it. you don't have to but, I think it would be cool. Great job 4/5
amzing once i clear some space ill dl maybe you should make a thread for people to post there scores on i used to love this game i had a redone version on my playstation still playedd the same and would get to like round 75 but i couldnt even get to 25 in the arcade im definetely gonna play this
seems like alot of fun but it looks like it only has one player do you think you could make it multiplayer with other player cages so you see who lasts longest or something
Yes you can play with two players. It's still pretty hard. With 3 or 4 people I think it would be too easy, but who knows. If you play with 2 people just make sure you're on the same team otherwise the scoring won't work.
Good idea. It looks very cleanly executed, very well thought out as well. I was never very good at the original myself, but hopefully I will fair better here. If I remember to, I will post a serious and informed review once I've played the game a few times..
Jesus Christ that is hard, I jsut played it and I couldn't get past the first flying 1 from the side when you get the BR, I like how it can be 1 player too and it is very addicting and I am probably going to go back to playing after this post but, the spawns don't work 100% maybe 25% of the time like 3 out of 13? I spawned in the corner of the map outside of the Box. As to the other parts I like the surprising factor with the flying ones and it is forged pretty good but, fusion coils soemtimes get stuck or just pick up too much damn speed (especially the fricking 1st one on the far left) anyway besides the spawn problem this map is awesome and addicting, fix the spawns and you have got my 5/5 rating Can't get past this part I keep missing : / Edit: Sotha Sil pick a different color to post in it is nearly invisible.
I tried this out by myself, it was so freaking hard (Insert balls joke here). I then tried it with my brother, and it was still really tough. Could you make it 3 or 4 player though, cause then it would be so much freaken fun.
I'm glad that you fixed the spawns. I will redownload. I would have to kill myself every 1st round, but the rest of the game worked rather well. I could never got past the part where they start falling right in front of you. Another problem I had with the spawns, one that I don't know if you know about, is that there weren't enough spawn points in the actual base for more than two people. I played it with three, and one always spawned outside the map, even in the latter two rounds.
Definatly Downloading.... very creative and galaga is my absolute favorite arcade game.... why does everyone think pacman and mario are the best? cant wait to play
dude this looks great but from what people say its very difficult. im about to play with my freind i will edit after i play. do you think after brute shot it could be gues worthog?
Thanks for the suggestions, I will definately make a V2 compatible with 4 players. One think that I don't think you guys understand is that I made the game close to impossible on purpose. If you played a game that you could beat the first time you played it you would be bored. That is why I made the scoring chart. That way you pretty much always have something to work towards.
Amazing i have introduced this game to my friends and they loved it! unfortunately all 3 of us wanted to play so i forged it so there are more starting points but i feel bad cuz your name isn't on it my friend got 300 something by himself! (he claims) anyways awesome map most unique one i have ever seen 5/5 great work oh yah for a v2 possible make it a 1 on 1 competition like there are 2 setups like that in seperate spots and whoever dies first loses.... but that might be very hard to make exactly the same.... and also IMPORTANT: you might want to put some propane tanks in there they might role better and there smaller.... good way to simulate a "level 2" because there smaller enemies (ME SOLO)
This is a very great mini game and not to mention very addicting... I also think that you should make a leaderboard right in this post for like 'The highest score for 1 player' and another for 2 and 3 players. I think that then people will play it more and maybe you might even get more downloads. =) But, yeah, very great mini game!
Great map. Very addicting to play and try to beat my friends scores except I can't beat them. Only Disyki's, not Tylyr's. Very fun like the original Galaga. 5/5
I love the concept and idea of the map.And to top that off with the cream you made the map look at its best.I mainly like the columns used in this map.Overall it is great.
Ok, What is there not to love about this map. This is the first map I have seen that you can play BY YOURSELF. So many times have I wanted to play a game but I have always needed more people. As soon as I clear up space I WILL download it. I really want you to MAKE ANOTHER 1 PLAYER MAP with a different concept. If you make many of these 1 player maps I will be your #1 fan. Dude, keep forging and keep up the good work. 5/5. I hoped this helped.
