A clone of Galaga (arcade, 1981), simple and quick, though a bit repetitive.
When an enemy gets close and activates a tractor beam, let it capture your ship. If you then destroy that enemy (without hitting your old ship, which is right behind), you’ll get to control two ships at once, attached together. Your firepower will be doubled, but dodging enemy shots becomes more difficult.
The small novelty here is that you can rotate the ship by 45 degrees to shoot diagonally. You need to tilt the joystick diagonally up to shoot left, and diagonally down to shoot right (this weird setup lets you shoot and move in opposite directions).
