A surprisingly good update to a classic arcade title

I popped this in for a few rounds on day while I was bored and you know what? It's actually pretty fun. The visuals are trippy and there are cool weapons to use. It reminded me a lot of the classic Arkanoid. There are even boss fights with huge alien motherships. But seriously, whoever is running the pilot training program for these alien invaders needs to be fired. Teach your students to fly in better patterns, dude. Hire the alien who trained the Galaga guys at least.
