The Galaxy on Fire saga is a popular mobile game franchise, especially with Russian players. It was one of the first games to introduce 3D physics, first person shooting, multiplayer functionality, and open space worlds to mobile games. The developer, Fishlabs, has evolved the Galaxy on Fire games across many mobile device platforms and generations over the years. More recent installments of Galaxy on Fire 2 have achieved success on the iOS App Store in Russia and other countries. Fishlabs is considering future releases on additional platforms like Blackberry 10, Windows Phone 8, and Windows 8.
