Hello.

I'm doing some market research on Galaga clones.
These are the ones that I've found so far:

Xeno Assault II (http://www.jaggedbladesoft.com/xenoassault2/)
Bugatron (http://www.retro64.com/bugatron.asp)
GunRaven (http://www.aggressivegames.com/games/GunRaven.html)
Warblade (http://www.warblade.as/)
Alien Sky (http://www.kraisoft.com/action-games/aliensky/)


But surely there must be more of them out there.
So if anyone has any links to other Indie Galaga clones I'd appreciate if you would like to share them with me.
Sales info on different Galaga clones would also be great.
Thanks in advance!

You seem to have a pretty wide range of things you'd call a galaga clone. In my books a lot of those games aren't really very galaga like. Do you really mean galaga or do you mean any game with a ship on the bottom of the screen shooting up? If that's the case then you could add puppy invaders and atomaders to your list.

Star Defender is one that comes to mind, though I'd say it was more like space invaders.

Well I ment Galaga clones, or maybe "games that play kinda like Galaga", don't really know why I added Crusaders of Space to that list :confused: .
And with Galaga clones I ment something like "a game where the player move his ship from left to right (and sometimes up/down) at the bottom of the screen, and has enemies that move in a defined pattern above the player (and sometimes attack the player)".

i finished star monkey.. one of my favorite 2d indie shooter games. Ultra assualt is a bit like it but somehow doesnt seem to have it's appeal.
