A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

2024 vector graphic remake of the 1980 arcade classic "Missile Command".

Status

Playable but unfinished. Missing some planned features: web release; fancy bomb types; level differentiation; difficulty tuning; in-game credits; high score; juice including CRT glow, parallax starfield; update notifications.

Play

Protect your red cities from waves of falling bombs. Use the mouse to aim your cursor, and launch defensive missiles from your three yellow bases, using the left, center, and right mouse buttons (or keyboard A, S and D), respectively.

A v. promising demo. Using all three buttons of the mouse to control differing cannon fire was a fun input switchup. Love the sfx and the visual fx for exploding cannon turrets or the trails following missiles. Can't wait to play more :)
