Combo Galaxy - New Game Release



Long time no see! I've released a new game!
The game is an arcade shoot-em-up.
I only ask that you try it out for a few minutes, see if you like it and consider purchasing a copy. Here's a bit of info on the game just in case you need it:
How to Play
Combo Galaxy is an arcade shoot-em-up game inspired by Space Invaders and Cherry Bomb. Destroy round after round of aliens in your path with your ship the Crimson Swift and try to get the highest score you can!
Controls
Keyboard
• Arrow Keys – Move your ship • Z / N / C – Blast Lasers • X / M / V – Deploy Star Bombs
Controller
• L Stick / D-pad – Move your ship • A / Y – Blast Lasers • X / B – Deploy Star Bombs
Star Bombs
Star Bombs are a collectible that defeated enemies will sometimes drop. Collecting it will increase your star bomb ammo count by 1 and the more ammo you have the more bombs you will deploy all at once! Collecting 4 Star Bombs will restore 1HP but also reset your star bomb ammo count to 0. If you have full HP, collecting 4 Star Bombs will instead reset your star bomb ammo count to 0 and give you 2500 points, so consider saving your ammo to get a higher score if you feel you can beat the game without them. Tip for getting high scores Enemies that are moving towards your ship give double points, so be vigilant as to which enemies are about to move – you’ll see them twitching when they’re about to.
