Galacide is a thrilling mash-up of a space shmup and a match-4 puzzler. Your world has been invaded by a mysterious and deadly alien race, and you must fight your way through hordes of enemies while matching your way through the blockade known as the Bitwall. Choose from one of four powerful ships, each with their own unique abilities to assist you as you attempt to defeat the dangerous invaders.
Destroying enemy ships causes them to drop colored "scrap" pieces, which can be picked up by your ship and shot at the Bitwall to create matches of four of more same-colored "bits". The goal of the game is to continue to progress forward until the end of the level, or in the case of endless mode, as long as you can survive. If the Bitwall pushes you back against the left edge of the screen, it's game over!

Galacide began as a simple prototype that was conceived during the development of
Blade Symphony. The idea was to create a game that combined the fast-paced action of a shmup with the quick-thinking required to solve match-4 puzzles. These mechanics combined gracefully to create an experience that was extremely hectic, entertaining, and challenging, and led to the concept being developed into a full game.
