Controls
| Action | Keyboard / mouse | Touch |
|---|---|---|
| Fire nearest battery | Click sky | Tap or hold sky |
| Select battery | 1 / 2 / 3 | Tap Left / Center / Right in HUD |
| Mute | M | Mute in HUD |
Click or tap the sky to fire the nearest live battery; hold to repeat. Keys 1, 2, and 3 — or a tap on a battery in the HUD — select Left, Center, or Right; tap the same battery again to return to nearest-fire. M mutes. Overlay click starts a run and restarts after a wipe. After game over, WATCH AD TO CONTINUE rebuilds cities and batteries on the current wave with score intact and a brief grace; a full restart does not. On a phone, keep the canvas 16:9 and fire with a hold rather than a mash.
Strategy and tips
Do not dump the Center battery on the first rock of a wave — Left and Right cover the wings, Center is the spare. Blast early and high so chain explosions eat a cluster. Save ORDNANCE for a splitter pack, not a singleton. A shield over three cities is worth more than an EMP that clears an empty sky. If a battery dies, a repair crate can bring it back; if all three go dark with no crate falling, the wave is already over. Continues are for a personal-best wave. Cities are the trophy; leftover ammo is how greedy you were on the way up.
Why this cabinet exists
Missile Command taught a generation that a falling line plus a city silhouette is enough. This cabinet uses a locked 1280-by-720 (16:9) field: Buenos Aires through Sydney on the horizon, batteries at Left, Center, and Right, ten missiles per battery per wave. Incoming rocks split, chain-explode in blast radii, and sometimes drop supply crates — SHIELD, EMP, repair, and ORDNANCE. Wave intermissions pay leftover cities and unused ammo. The file is self-contained so GamesArsenal can iframe it without a build step.
