You’ve gotta love the App Store ratings system, with innocuous-sounding games being rated for infrequent/mild cartoon or fantasy violence (for example). Bring on the mild peril! Anyway, Galcon is a recipient of a 9+ rating, so don’t let your toddlers loose on it.

However, it looks fun for the rest of us. The £5.99 game is a space-based shoot ‘em up, although let’s be honest, there’s little point in specifying that - ALL the best shoot ‘em ups are based in space.

Anyway, it’s more cerebral than the usual schmup, to the point where it’s more of a strategy game. You have to send swarms of your ships to conquer other planets, which results in a day-glo screen full of little triangles battering other triangles. Always good.
