MELS is a turn-based tactical RPG set in a zombie apocalypse. Lead a squad of three fighters, expand your base, send teams on expeditions and work with players across the server to develop a vaccine before the mutation spreads. Turn-based combat without autoplay Battles take place on a grid where position, distance and action order decide the outcome. Move each fighter yourself, choose the right target and adapt to enemies with different behavior. There is no auto button and no single pattern that wins every map. Track down wanted targets and claim their rewards. Build and upgrade your base Develop eight buildings, including headquarters, an armory, training camp, research center and biolab. Base upgrades unlock better shop stock, faster expeditions and new research. Operation Vaccine All players contribute to the same global goal: developing a vaccine against the infection. Send scientists to analyze zombie remains, support pathogen research and track your contribution on the leaderboard. The mutation keeps advancing — can the whole server stay ahead of it? Create your squad Alpha, Beta and Kappa each have their own health, armor, damage, critical chance, speed and range. Equip helmets, vests, backpacks, firearms and melee weapons. Choose between close-range attacks, heavy firepower and long-range precision. Skills, gear and customization Develop combat abilities such as field medkits, mines, rockets, fire and frost. Improve passive attributes including damage, armor and critical chance. Collect equipment across eight rarity grades, from common to gold, and unlock dozens of appearance sets.

Vector Intercept is a simultaneous-turn tactical air-combat game for iPhone and iPad. Command the package from above: plot routes, judge weapon envelopes, manage fuel and damage, then commit three seconds of action. Blue and Red move at the same time, so every plan has consequences you can see. Fight through 21 authored operations. The campaign grows from a guided intercept into formations, terrain masking, changing weather, escort, sensor support, surface threats, and multi-axis missions. The challenge is reading the situation and building the next solution—not twitch flying. Explore an international hangar with 263 aircraft profiles across 121 nation groups. Fixed campaign missions use authored packages; every catalog aircraft also has a capability-matched Role Op based on systems the game actually models. Free access includes: • Operations 01–03 • Eight Blue starter aircraft • Every air-combat-capable aircraft as a Red opponent • Capability-matched Role Ops for support aircraft One optional non-consumable purchase unlocks Operations 04–21 and the full eligible Blue combat hangar. It does not award stars or skip campaign progression. Features: • Simultaneous-turn air combat designed for landscape play • Missiles, guns, countermeasures, fuel, damage, terrain, and weather • Formation, escort, sensor-support, strike, and protected-transit missions • Searchable 263-aircraft international hangar • Local campaign progress and after-action debriefs • Restore Purchases support • No account, ads, analytics, tracking, or subscription PRIVACY, SUPPORT & TERMS Privacy Policy — No account is required; the app does not collect or track personal data: https://vector-intercept.pages.dev/privacy Support — Gameplay help, Restore Purchases, accessibility feedback, and feature requests: https://vector-intercept.pages.dev/support Terms of Use — Apple Standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
