Owner

Missile Shield is an original twist inspired by Missile Command. Use original names, art and level designs, nothing copied from the original.

Tap/click to launch interceptors from three bases that explode in an expanding blast, protecting six cities from falling missiles, splitting warheads and bombers.

Controls

Mouse/touch to aim and fire; keys 1/2/3 or Q/W/E pick base; gamepad cursor + shoulder buttons.

Difficulty curve

Missile count, speed and MIRV splits increase per wave; limited ammo per base.

Ad reward

Art needs

6 cities (intact/destroyed), 3 bases, missile trails, blast circles, bomber, ground strip.
