About Skyguard
A missile-defence game in the spirit of Missile Command. Missiles rain down on six cities and you shoot counter-missiles that explode exactly where you aim. Anything that flies into the blast is destroyed, so the whole game is about where and when you put your explosions. Waves get faster and bigger, and some missiles split in two halfway down. You can't win, only last longer.
How to play
- Desktop: move the mouse to aim and click to fire. The missile explodes where the crosshair was when you clicked.
- Phone: tap where you want the explosion.
- Surviving cities earn a bonus at the end of each wave. When every city is gone, the run ends.
Tips
- Aim ahead of the missile, not at it. Your shot takes time to get there.
- Wait a moment and catch several missiles in one blast.
- Shoot splitters before they split.
- Ignore missiles heading for cities you've already lost.
FAQ
Is it free? Do I need an account? It's free, paid for by ads. No account: you only type a name if you want to post a score.
Does it work on a phone? Yes. Tap to fire works well on phones and tablets.
How do I score more? Keep your cities alive: each one pays a bonus every wave. Our strategy guide goes into the numbers.
