Galcon is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is also playable through the webbrowser, iPhone, and iPod touch. Galcon classic was first released December 15, 2006.http://www.galcon.com/forums/13/7/15/?cur=0#31 It was later replaced by Galcon Labs, featuring four new game modes. Galcon Labs boasts real time on-line multi-player action with leaderboards. This allows for competition on a global scale.

The goal of this game is to send your small triangular starships towards the enemies planets to capture them. Destroy the enemy. However gameplay strategy is a little more complicated. Across a randomly generated map are several differently sized planets. The larger a planet, the faster it will produce starships. On start-up, all neutral planets have a 'defensive' amount of starships. These are also randomly generated, and they determine how difficult it will be to initially capture a planet. Both of those greatly impact gameplay. New game modes are being created as the game progresses. These include Billiards, Stealth, Crash, and Assassin. In the Billiards game mode the planets move around, this constantly changes game play. Stealth game-play takes away your ability to view the enemy ships as they come closer to attack you. Crash adds the possibility of your ships exploding when they crash into enemy ships. And finally, Assassin gives your a target that you must destroy to win.
