Some enemies arrive in spherical "eggs" and emit a loud, high-pitched noise when hit. Others explode in a brilliant shower of fireworks when destroyed, and occasionally these enemies drop a small formation of much smaller enemies that "wiggle" their way down the screen. Some enemies now have the ability to combine into a much larger single enemy that takes multiple shots to destroy. The player can begin with one ship with two in reserve or start right out with a dual ship (but only one in reserve). The objective is to shoot all 40 enemies before they disappear, for a bonus of at least 10,000 points. Periodically the player encounters Challenging Stages, which are set to music and feature "dancing" enemies. As each evolved differently however, they formed clans and some came together in an alliance to form "leagues." Since then, the United Galaxy ordained their cumulative existence to be called the "Galaga League.Galaga '88 takes the basic gameplay of Galaga and adds higher-quality graphics, triple ship abilities, parsec progression, power-ups, asteroids, bosses and other enhancements. While the UGSF discovered the technology behind the Hyper Drive from the Galaga remains, he found out that these alien lifeforms are originally of the same species. Within the same year, Planet Galaga fell to the UGSF and Yeager returns from his accomplished mission.
He discovered the truth behind the Galaga invasion and began his assault on their base of operations. Commander Yeager, pilot of the Blast Fighter, was assigned to the mission equipped with Triple Fighter Mode technology. With this, the United Galaxy created a plan to defeat the Galaga and take the fight to Planet Galaga. The Galaxians discovered that the surviving Galaga have retreated through a dimensional hole. In response, the UGSF takes defensive action to protect Earth from the Galaga. However, the aliens have evolved to a point where they can use the dimension jumper, known as "Hyper Drive." After establishing their base of operations, the Galaga began their assault on Earth using Hyper Drive. In the year 2288 (188 A.G.), the UGSF have thwarted the Gaplus Empire in the Galaxian-Galaga War of 183.
The game also ends when the player clears stage 29 where four different endings are determined by the dimension the player was on. The game ends when the player loses all Blast Fighters but they can be increased by reaching preset scores during gameplay or simply choose to continue.
Each interim between areas feature a Challenging Stage, "That's Galactic Dancin'." Collecting 2 Dimensional Warp capsules during the game lets the player leap to a different dimensions which starts from the first dimension and goes up to the fifth dimensions. The game contains 29 stages which are broken into dimensional areas. The Galaga forces feature cameo enemies such as Bosses, Guards, and Grunts, including new and unique Galaga species such as Medium and Large sized Galaga. Similar to Galaga, the player can combine the captured Blast Fighter to power-up the controlled Blast Fighter, but in this game, the player can save the captured Dual Fighter to enter Triple Fighter mode which can also be achieved by getting a Triple Fighter capsule. If the Dual Fighter is selected, the player can begin the game with 2 Blast Fighters combined. The player can either choose whether the Blast Fighter can begin in Fighter or Dual Fighter mode. Using the 2-way joystick, the player moves the Blast Fighter horizontally while firing its cannon using the fire button.
