## What is Rocket Destroyer?

The skies are full of trouble: rockets, jets, bombers, gunships, UFOs, laser satellites and sky carriers, all heading for your city. Take the turret and hold the line.

Rocket Destroyer first launched on the App Store in July 2011. Fifteen years later it's back, rebuilt from scratch in landscape: 15 worlds, 450 levels and nine giant bosses.

Rocket Destroyer is a fast arcade anti-air defense game, played in landscape. Swing the barrel with your left thumb, hold FIRE with your right, swap weapons and unleash charged abilities.

HOLIDAY OPS
Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Midsummer and Halloween each bring five missions with their own sky, weather and enemies. Clear all five and the holiday's launcher skin is yours to keep. No lives needed.

15 WORLDS, 450 LEVELS
Earth Defense, Moon Outpost, Mars Colony, Neon City, Ice Planet, Alien Hive, Black Hole Zone, Volcanic Core, Ocean Fortress, Crystal Galaxy, Midnight City, Dune Fortress, Toxic Wastes, Solar Forge and The Void. Every world has its own city and a special rule: low gravity, dust storms, hologram decoys, ice armor, regeneration, a black hole, eruptions, storm winds, crystal shields, a blackout, twisters, acid rain, solar flares, and the Void, which changes every wave.

20 ENEMY TYPES AND 9 GIANT BOSSES
A boss on every 10th level, from the Mega Rocket to the Battlecruiser and the Overmind, whose destructible parts shield their core. Bring one down and the Gold Rush begins: gold crates rain from the sky and every one you shoot is coins.

17 WEAPONS, 15 ABILITIES
Blasters, flak, homing missiles, lasers, railguns, tesla coils, plasma lances and more, each with 10 upgrade levels. New: the Mine Layer, the Inferno Cannon and the Nova Cannon. Weapons open one at a time, so every new gun is an event. Call in EMP blasts, airstrikes, shields, time warps, drones and nukes, freeze the whole sky with Cryo Burst, sweep it with the Orbital Lance, or make a Last Stand where no building can fall.

THE HANGAR
Fourteen base upgrades, from City Armor and Repair Drones to a Rail Mount that lets your launcher slide along the street. Stock up on emergency supplies (Repair Crew, Iron Dome, Deep Freeze, Sky Sweeper, Overcharge) and hit the EMERGENCY button when a battle goes wrong. A guided tour shows you every part of it.

FOUR DIFFICULTIES
Easy, Normal, Hard and Insane. Hard and Insane clears earn crowns that unlock extra turret skins.

MORE TO DO
A Daily Challenge with a streak, themed levels, a bonus medal on every level, close calls that pay, supply crates and power-ups, 18 turret skins, 24 avatars, 60 ranks, a daily supply drop, Endless mode, and Game Center leaderboards and achievements. Play in English, Spanish, French, German or Brazilian Portuguese.

Free to play. Every world unlocks by beating the one before it. You have five lives: a lost battle costs one and it comes back in 30 minutes, and winning costs nothing. In a hurry? Unlock a world early, grab the All Worlds Pass (every world, including future ones) or pick up a coin pack, which also brings unlimited lives for a while.

No Ads. No tracking. Just games.

*2012-12-29*

This is a fun game, but has a few flaws. Ranking up destroys the flow of the game, and hit boxes are a bit off. But otherwise a good play.
