Terra Galactica is an indie shoot-'em-up for the Game Boy Advance, inspired by our 16-bit favourites including games like Thunder Force IV, Sol-Feace and Silpheed. The game went through a variety of different iterations over the years, but the GBA version was the most developed, with work on the game taking place from 2005 to 2008.

Terra Galactica was never finished but a demo ROM was completed, which we now present for you to enjoy on your favourite emulator (we recommend mGBA) or a flash cart. Additionally, a full soundtrack was recorded with hard rock tracks that provide a perfect accompaniment to some classic baddie blasting, and is available to buy on CD and digital formats.
