### 5/5 — Missile Command!

*2025-12-21, version 3.2*

Fun!!

### 5/5 — Excellent Game - With some Caveats

*2020-08-23*

Great job, dev.  I just wish Wedidn’t run out of missles so soon.  I don’t get to play most of the higher levels , I just have to sit and watch my bases get destroyed while I do nothing.  Reloads are kind of few and far between. Usually I have full bases and no rounds to defend them.  Would be fun to play those rounds instead.  Yeah, I know, manage missles better .... I try.

It goes from playable to non-playable so quickly  that it seems kind of pre-ordained.  Some of the missles that come out of the sides toward the end are, there is no defense fast enough to intercept them in< 1 second. Right around the 700,000 mark, you can expect cheap shots, which aren’t much fun. There’s a point at which the game tries to end itself.

Another anamoly is the nukes, which are mostly non-factors in the game.  The shockwave propagates FAR too slowly to be of any help.  The incoming warheads simply come in at they same speed of the shockwave.

 It’s often the last item remaining

Still, awesome game.  It’s very fun.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2019-04-16*

If you liked Atari 2600 missile command, you’ll looove this. Just do it!

### 4/5 — ステージクリア

*2018-07-05*

ステージクリアを繰り返す事で、新型のミサイルが補充されるなどの改良があると、より楽しいゲームになると思う。

### 3/5 — そこそこ

*2018-01-08*

タップした場所にミサイルが飛んでいく迎撃ゲームがしたかったので、これはそれにぴったりだった。
なのでそれは良い。
だがしかし、このゲームにはクリアがない。
無限に迎撃し続けなければならないが、そのくせ自分のミサイル保有数は有限である。つまり、いつか必ずゲームオーバーになる。
私はそれが気に入らない。
ステージクリアとか、ゴール達成とか、そのような要素は必要である。
いつか必ず敗北すると分かっているゲームなんて、あんまりではないか。

### 4/5 — Addictive!

*2017-12-14*

Good game, nearly impossible on higher levels but great fun anyway 😀!

### 4/5 — Lots to like

*2017-07-22*

There is lots to like about this game; the graphics are excellent, the sound track, and easy game play.  I would love to see a high score feature, otherwise I have nothing to try to achieve when I'm playing.

### 5/5 — Memory lane

*2017-06-22, version 2.8.3*

Just like the arcade game Missile Command
Awesome!!

### 5/5 — This is Missile Command‼️ 🤗

*2017-01-04*

Tried the free version of this game once, then immediately deleted that for this (ad free) version!! 👍🏼

If you played Missile Command on the good old Atari 2600 VCS, you NEED to buy this modern remake!! 👍🏼

This game is guaranteed fun and a "Must Own" for your game collection❗️🎮🏆

Recommended: YES

### 5/5 — Addictive and frustrating

*2017-01-03*

Hard to put down once  I started playing, well worth a punt :)
