Tap your screen to fire missiles at incoming asteroids, watch the immense explosions push away or shatter their targets. Aim carefully because the more missiles explode the more panic is caused and the slower earth's evacuation progresses.

The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay is fun and strategic and requires concentration the further you go. The story is great too as you get to make up your own stories as you play. Great for killing time at any range, from a minute or two, to hours of fun. 10/10 Highly Recommend ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2023-02-02, version 1.3.5* Still playing 2023 simple/ fun/ highly addictive and detailed keep it up ### 5/5 — My favorite missile app but needs more updates. *2021-09-14, version 1.3.5* Adding a shop to buy additional permanent shields that reset on lost. Bonuses for pushing the astroids away and destroying them too. Earn coins for destroying tye astroids. Also it would be nice is the shield can regenerate faster. And make warnings further away from the planet when the astroids get over crowded its hard to know more are coming and it’s overwhelming how quickly the astroids get over crowded. Slow the speed of the astroids incoming… Overall very satisfying app! Please provide the privacy about the app for each update it will really help us out thanks for everything made so far. Hope to see more improvements in the near future. ### 5/5 — Hope this aint dumb *2021-06-29, version 1.3.5* Maybe a way to upgrade rockets like faster fly speed or bigger blast ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2021-04-25, version 1.3.5* This game is a fun simple game I’ve been playing it for awhile I also like how the smaller asteroids burn up or explode in the shield as if it was the earth’s atmosphere but can you at least add a few new things like new modes at least? Overall Great Game! ### 5/5 — 5 stars! *2021-04-04, version 1.3.5* Hello! I would just like to thank you for making this game and putting lots of work into it. The game is very impressive, and the graphics are amazing. I am very interested in space related disasters and this game is just the perfect game for me! 👏 ### 5/5 — God836 *2021-02-21, version 1.3.5* I agree god836 ### 5/5 — Pleasantly Suprised *2020-12-30, version 1.3.5* A modernized reminiscent of Missle Command.I like it quite a bit. Thank you for this. ### 5/5 — Great game but more could be done *2020-12-12, version 1.3.5* This a fantastic game but I think more could have been done to make it better like being able to buy upgrades for your shield or just being able to buy different kinds of shields and travel to other galaxies or other creative things like that. But other than that it’s a great game. ## Frequently asked questions about Eve of Impact ### What is Eve of Impact?
