Missile Command Lite – Burst the Sky, Save the Skyline
Missile Command Lite is a click-to-detonate defense game. Incoming trails dive toward five cities along the bottom; click above them to grow an explosion that shreds missiles inside its radius. Keep at least one city standing—when the last one falls, it’s over. Press R to rebuild and try a higher intercept tally.

About this game
A stripped, pointer-first take on classic city defense: no complex menus, just aim, click, and watch the blast expand then fade. Waves arrive faster as your score climbs. Ideal for mouse or touch on a short break—focus the canvas and start intercepting.

Common use cases
- Practice aiming under pressure with short city-defense rounds.
- Play a mouse-driven arcade break when you don’t want keyboard chaos.
- Chase a personal best intercept count before the skyline goes dark.
Tips
- Lead the missile—place the blast where it will be, not where it is.
- One wide explosion can clear a cluster; don’t spam clicks on empty sky.
- Prioritize the city under the nearest streak when several dive at once.
