About

Galactic Survival

Ten minutes. One ship. Keep moving. Galactic Survival is a space survival shooter you play with one finger: steer your ship through asteroids, bombers and fighters while your guns fire on their own. Level up, build your arsenal and take on the Boss at the end of the clock. STEER, YOUR GUNS DO THE SHOOTING Drag anywhere and your ship glides after your finger. Your weapons fire by themselves whenever an enemy is on screen, so every move is about dodging, collecting and staying alive. PICK 1 OF 3 ON EVERY LEVEL-UP Each level pauses the action and offers up to three cards. Combine six weapons (Plasma, Multi Plasma, Rocket, the homing Astro Missile, Black Hole and Laser) with power-ups for health, shield, recharge, critical hits and more. Every card goes up to level 5. Short on luck? Spend gold on an extra skill point or a fresh set of cards. SURVIVE 10 MINUTES Asteroids, bombers, chasing fighters and heavy fighters attack in formations, and the later minutes get crowded. At 4:59 a Cruiser marks your position and fires missiles at it. At 9:59 the Boss arrives with missile volleys and plasma bursts. Defeat it to win. BLACK HOLES AND HOMING MISSILES Black Holes drift across the screen and pull enemies in, while Astro Missiles hunt down the nearest target. After each run, the Damage Summary shows which weapon carried you. UPGRADE BETWEEN RUNS 60 permanent upgrades in four trees: Health, Shield, Attack and Drop Chance. Spend the gold you collect, unlock the next branch and come back stronger. DAILY GOALS AND A WEEKLY LEADERBOARD Seven daily missions, a daily reward calendar and a weekly Pearl leaderboard: collect pearls in your runs, climb into the top 50 and win gold and energy.
