Space Galaxy Attack Hardcore

Space Galaxy Attack Hardcore is a vertical scrolling shoot ’em up with anime and manga-inspired artwork. You pick a ship, fly it up through enemy formations, and spend the gold you collect on making it survive the next sector. The controls are touch-based and immediate — the game explains itself in the first run, which is the point of the genre.

The campaign runs through connected sectors: orbital stations, neon cities, asteroid fields, enemy factories and, at the end, the Galactic Core. Each sector brings its own enemy movement and attack patterns, minibosses, and multi-phase galaxy bosses with destructible modules and weak points you have to find and hit rather than simply out-damage.

Three modes cover different appetites. Normal is classic arcade progression. Hardcore raises enemy durability, projectile speed and formation complexity, and gives bosses extra attack patterns with fewer openings — it assumes you already know the fight. Endless drops the campaign entirely and just asks how long you last. Runs can be paused, saved and continued, so the campaign survives being put down mid-sector.
