About

Dome Commander

Features
Read full description

Draw the path. Lead the target. Hold the dome. Dome Commander is a fictional missile-defense arcade built on one skill: prediction. You don't place towers and you don't tap targets โ€” you DRAG from your launcher trucks to draw each rocket's actual flight path. A real rocket leaves the truck, follows the line you drew, and takes time to fly, so you have to lead a moving threat to where it WILL be, not where it is. WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT - Draw to defend: three launcher trucks โ€” Scout-1, Guard-2, Titan-3 โ€” each with its own speed, blast size, and reload. - No in-run currency. Every launch is gated by RELOAD TIME instead. Cheap trucks reload fast, heavy trucks reload slow โ€” manage your "Ready N/3" loaded count and don't waste a shot. - Lead 7 threat families: drifters, fast and heavy missiles, splitters, fake decoys, strafing Weavers, and diving Divers. Straight aim won't catch a Weaver. - Triage the surge: surge waves throw more at you than you can cover. Choose what to save. DEFEND FOUR ZONES Protect City, Power, Port, and Farms. Every impact damages the zone it hits, and the run ends only when all four are rubble โ€” the DOME% on your HUD reads how you're holding. PLENTY TO MASTER - A different daily challenge every day โ€” seven deterministic threat families, replay for score. - Climb the Game Center leaderboards โ€” chase your best score and your deepest wave. - Three daily contracts give you reasons to come back โ€” and you can reroll one for a fresh goal. - An upgrade hangar: tune reload, blast, and handling across deep upgrade tracks, climb command ranks, and earn coins every run from your interception ACCURACY. - An interactive ghost-hand tutorial teaches you on the live engine. HONEST & RESPECTFUL Dome Commander is free to play with ads. Rewarded ads are fully optional โ€” watch one to double a run's coins, earn a bonus, repair the dome, or reroll a daily contract, never to keep playing. Short ads between runs are frequency-capped and never interrupt play โ€” and a single one-time Remove Ads purchase turns them off for good (rewarded ads stay optional). Every upgrade can be earned entirely for free: coins flow from your interception accuracy each run, and optional coin packs simply top up the same balance if you want to progress faster. No account needed โ€” your game progress stays on your device, with optional Game Center leaderboards if you want to compete. The game uses Google AdMob to show ads; you can limit ad tracking anytime in iOS Settings.
