The only way to control your ship is by shooting! Move in the opposite direction you shoot as you battle endless waves of enemies. Each wave the speed of both you and your enemies increase. The faster you become, the harder it is to control your ship!
Features
Enemies
 | Chases after the player's ship and damages the player on collision. Weak individually, but can overwhelm the player with numbers. |

Powerups

 | Supercharged: Automatically shoot from three sides of your ship. |
Download
Install instructions
Windows: Unzip the folder to your preferred destination and have fun!
Linux: Unzip the folder to your preferred destination. You may need to add executable permissions to the executable file in order to run the game. To do so, simply type:
chmod +x 'Galactic Control.x86_64'
in the terminal.
Mac: There may be a chance the app won't run because I have not signed the build with Apple (I don't have a Mac computer) so the operating system will block it. If this happens you can either change the permission settings on your Mac to allow unsigned apps to run or you can play the game through the itch.io app.
