In this game, the goal is to avoid obstacles while running through the subway. There’s a cop trying to catch you. Along the way, collect coins. The characters, items, and environment are cartoonish. It’s the perfect arcade game for smartphones.

Overall Score: 9/20
This is a side-scrolling game filled with enemies and obstacles. Avoid falling into gaps while destroying robots. You are armed with a rifle, but there are other weapons available in each level. This game has good music, but the footsteps of the character are too loud. Adjust the sound effects in the settings menu to optimize the gaming experience.
To play the game, tap the up arrow to jump on top of enemies and over gaps. Tap or hold the gun arrow to fire the weapon. Some weapons are automatic and fire rapidly. The goal is to run as far as you can before dying.
What’s good about this game? There are weapons and energy throughout the level.
What’s wrong with this game? After each run, there’s an annoying remark by the AI.
Galaxy Attack Alien Shooter (Google Play Store)
Graphics: 4/5 Gameplay: 4/5 Replayability: 3/5 Music/Sound: 3/5
Overall Score: 14/20
This game takes place in space. It is vertically oriented. The goal is to destroy all the spaceships on the screen. The enemy fires missiles and moves side to side. Collect any items that are floating through space after the spaceships explode. There could be new, powerful weapons. There are three rounds in the campaign mode. There’s a multiplayer mode as well.
The best way to play this game is by destroying one side of the enemy fleet. Stay on that side to avoid getting shot. Drag the spaceship left/right, up/down, and in circles from any spot on the screen (drag control setting).
What’s good about this game? It has vivid colors and well-designed spaceships.
What’s wrong with this game? It requires the player to defeat several levels before being allowed to access the higher modes.
