Instructions
It's Galaga, you know how to play Galaga, stop bothering me. (Ship follows the mouse, button fires. Auto-fire by holding it down, so no-one accuses me of breaking their mouse!)
The xgalaga-hyperspace version features some new weapons and different gameplay. Press the x key to use your shields in this version.
