**The creator of the Freakin' Duck series brings you a brand new game!** The game is called Galactic Survivor. Move your character back and forth and shoot the ufo's. Make sure that the ufo's don't crash into you or it's an automatic game over. You also have 3 lives, in which you lose when a ufo gets past you. So don't let more than 3 ufo's get past you or it's game over. The game also features a high score widget for the iOS notification center and an iMessage sticker pack. This is just the beginning of Galactic Survivor. More features will be coming soon to the game!
