Cosmo Police Galivan is a multidirectional action-platformer released for the Arcade by Nichibutsu in 1985. Players take on the role of a galactic police officer sent to defeat an alien threat. You begin the game unarmed and unarmored, fighting only with kicks. By exploring the cavernous environments and breaking blue crystal containers, you can gather power-ups to equip the robotic Galivan suit, which grants powerful laser attacks and enhanced survivability.
How to Play
Navigate the maze-like levels, defeating enemies and seeking out the level boss to progress. Use the Arrow keys to move, Z to attack, and X to jump. To begin playing, insert a coin by pressing Shift and start the game with Enter.
Tips
- Prioritize finding the blue crystals immediately; playing without the Galivan suit leaves you extremely vulnerable.
- Once suited up, you can fire in multiple directions. Use this to clear enemies above or below you before jumping to new platforms.
- Taking too much damage will strip away your power suit, reducing you back to your vulnerable starting state. Play cautiously even when fully powered.
