Pro Tips & High Score Strategies for Space Shooter Galaxy

Field-tested advice to boost your score and master every round:

Stay in the Lower Third: Positioning your starfighter near the bottom of the screen provides maximum reaction time against incoming lasers.
Focus on Dodging Over Aiming: When projectile density increases, prioritize survival pathfinding; auto-firing weapons will handle targets.
Target Formation Leaders: Destroying command ships at the center often scatters flank escorts.
