Game Link: https://netgamex.com/game/334204158877433856
Genre: Space Shooter / Bullet Hell
Core Gameplay: Move → Dodge Bullets → Destroy Enemies → Upgrade Weapons → Defeat Bosses

Galaxy Attack is a classic vertical space shooter where you control a starfighter and survive waves of enemies, avoid dense bullet patterns, and upgrade your weapons to challenge powerful bosses.

This guide will help you master the basics, improve your dodging, optimize your upgrades, and handle every boss efficiently.

🧩 1. Basic Controls

🎮 How to Play

  • Move your ship by dragging (mobile) or using the mouse (PC).

  • Your ship auto-fires continuously.

  • Getting hit by bullets or colliding with enemies will cost you a life.

Recommended:

  • Mobile: best for quick reactions.

  • PC: mouse movements allow precise dodging.

🔥 2. Power-Up System Explained

Collecting power-ups is the key to survival and high damage.

1. Power Up (Weapon Upgrade)

Boosts your fire rate, spread, and overall damage.
Top priority — always collect this!

2. Shield

Grants temporary invincibility.
Best used in:

  • Heavy bullet patterns

  • Boss fights

  • Emergency dodging situations

3. Missile / Laser

Massive burst damage that can clear large enemy waves.
Ideal for:

  • Dense mob waves

  • Boss second phases

  • Quick room clearing

4. Extra Life

Restores a lost life.
Helps beginners stay in the game longer.

🧠 3. Beginner Tips (Levels 1–10)

🔸 Tip 1: Stay in the Bottom Third of the Screen

Benefits:

  • More time to react to bullets

  • Avoids enemies spawning on top of you

  • Perfect for “safe dodging zones”

🔸 Tip 2: Dodging is More Important Than Damage

Remember:
Survival first, damage second.
Losing lives early makes later levels much harder.

🔸 Tip 3: Keep Your Distance from Enemies

Some enemies:

  • Explode on death

  • Release projectiles

  • Charge forward suddenly

Staying back increases your safety margin.

🎯 4. Intermediate Tips (Levels 10–25)

🔸 Tip 1: Master Micro-Dodging

Small movements > large movements.
Big swerves often push you directly into bullets.

🔸 Tip 2: Use “Baiting” to Redirect Tracking Bullets

How it works:

  1. Move slowly in one direction → pull bullets toward you

  2. Make a quick direction change → bullets miss completely

This is extremely effective against mid-game enemies.

🔸 Tip 3: Maintain a Strong Fireline

When your weapon is upgraded:

  • Move horizontally

  • Focus fire in straight lines

  • Clear waves before they become dangerous

Staying stable means more consistent clearing.

🛡 5. Boss Fight Strategies (All Bosses)

Every boss usually has three phases:

🟥 Phase 1 – Warm-Up Phase

Easy bullet patterns, slow attacks.
Strategy:

  • Stay mid-low on the screen

  • Only horizontal movement is needed

  • Save missiles/laser for later

🟧 Phase 2 – Aggressive Phase

Bullet patterns become denser and faster.

Common attacks:

  • Fan-shaped spreads

  • Circular burst bullets

  • Rapid straight shots

Best approach:

  1. Stay in motion

  2. Focus on dodging high-speed bullets

  3. Use laser/missile for big damage

  4. Try not to lose a life before Phase 3

🟦 Phase 3 – Final Burst (Hardest Phase)

The boss uses mixed bullet types and rapid fire.

Strategy:

  • Use your strongest weapons here

  • Move to the least-dense bullet areas

  • If you have a shield, use it now

  • Be patient — rushing causes unnecessary hits

6. High Score Strategy (For Leaderboard Players)

🟣 Tip 1: Collect Every Power-Up

Higher firepower = more kills = higher score.

🟣 Tip 2: Multi-Kill Combos

Clearing enemies in clusters gives extra score multipliers.

Try to:

  • Line enemies up

  • Use wide shots

  • Utilize missiles for waves

🟣 Tip 3: Earn Perfect Bonuses

Avoid taking damage for entire levels to get extra rewards.

🏆 7. Final Summary – Three Key Rules

① Stay at the bottom for maximum safety

② Dodge first, attack second

③ Power-ups decide your firepower — collect them all

Follow these three principles and you’ll progress faster, survive longer, and dominate boss fights in Galaxy Attack.
