Galaxy Jailbreak

Galaxy Jailbreak is another good game from Romik. In this one, you control a missile base at the bottom of the screen. You can move left or right, and of course, you can fire.

The game starts with a number of evil generals in a walled area near the top of the screen - the 'jail'. Alien soldiers attempt to free the generas by hyperspacing onto the screen and hitting the jail walls, removing bricks in the process. Once on the screen, the soldiers bounce between the screen walls and the jail, removing more and more bricks as they go.

Once freed, the generals drop bombs on your missile base. If you shoot a general, he explodes - turning into three soldiers!

Points are gained for hitting soldiers and generals, and the game ends when you have lost your three lives.

The game can get very frantic at times, and in common with other Romik action games, this one offers a freeze-frame option to give the harrassed player time to compose him/herself.

A high score feature is also included, but only one level of play is available. However, the game gets increasingly difficult to play as it progresses. Comprehensive, on-screen instructions are included.

Another good-quality action game from Romik Software.
