Draw a rocket’s route. Intercept the missile. Protect your city. Dome Commander is a fast arcade defense game where every shot follows the path you draw. Drag from a launcher truck into the sky, release to fire, and aim ahead of moving threats. Timing and prediction decide how long your city survives. DRAW TO DEFEND • Guide rockets along your own flight paths. • Master three launchers with different speed, blast size, and reload time. • Save City, Power, Port, and Farms through increasingly demanding waves. • Recognize fast missiles, heavy threats, splitters, decoys, Weavers, and Divers. • Stay calm when surge waves fill the sky.
