REQUIRED: one or more additional mobile devices running the free Amico Controller app to act as wireless game controllers over a shared Wi-Fi network. The game itself has no on-screen touch controls. This game is not a typical mobile game. It is part of the Amico Home entertainment system which turns your mobile device into an Amico console! As with most consoles, you control Amico Home with one or more separate game controllers. Most any mobile device can act as an Amico Home wireless controller by running the free Amico Controller app. Each controller device automatically connects to the device running the game, provided all devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Amico games are designed for you to enjoy a local multiplayer experience with your family and friends of all ages. The free Amico Home app acts as the central hub where you will find all Amico games available for purchase and from which you can launch your Amico games. All Amico games are family-friendly with no in-app purchases and no playing with strangers over the Internet! Please see the Amico Home app page for more information on setting up and playing Amico Home games. MISSILE COMMAND A mysterious attack from space threatens the cities of Earth. Command your surface-to-air missiles to defeat the incoming rain of destruction! This reimagining of the classic game achieves unrivaled smooth targeting with Amico controller touchscreen input. You can also play with multiple players simultaneously in co-op or competitive modes! Special Features Individual players may select from three difficulty settings (even in multiplayer mode) to help balance play. Each player can also choose from three different control modes with customizable settings: • Touchpad – the cursor on the game screen tracks the location of your touch on the touchscreen. • Mousepad – drag on the touchscreen to move your cursor with adjustable acceleration, just like a mouse. • Trackball – drag on the touchscreen to spin a virtual trackball just like in the original classic arcade standup game. Gather your friends and defend humankind!
