The goal of Galactic Grab is to guide your star through the galaxy, collecting as many Nebulae as you can. You'll need to be quick and smart with your moves, dodging obstacles and other players as you go.
Just swipe and watch your star zoom off to gather those glowing Nebulae. The more you grab, the higher your score. But watch out for the wrong-colored Nebulae – they'll bring your score down. So, aim carefully and move fast to become the best nebula collector in the galaxy!
Game Play
In this local multiplayer game, you will drag your star around the table to collect colored Nebulae that appear on the screen.
The color of the Nebulae you need to collect will periodically change, and the table will vibrate to indicate when this happens. Be careful not to collect the wrong color, as this will cause you to lose points. You can also tap your score to use a solar flare, which will push your opponents away, sometimes to the opposite side of the screen, and give you an advantage.
Up to four players can play at the same time.

Development Process & Involvement
I conceived and developed Galactic Grab as a personal project with a special purpose, to help my son learn about colors through interactive gameplay. The journey began with a custom arcade cabinet version.
As the game evolved and my son started to play on out Xbox, I ported it to Xbox. The game's potential was further showcased when I demonstrated a PC version at Play NYC, a prominent gaming conference, where it received positive feedback from attendees. It was a very simple game, but simple can be fun when you are gaming locally with friends.
The final chapter in Galactic Grab's development journey was its adaptation for the Infinity Game Table, where it was officially released to the public. This version maintains the core educational and entertainment value while taking advantage of the unique features of the 32" touchscreen Infinity Game Table platform.
