Defend your base by launching projectiles at bombs falling from the sky. If a bomb touches your base, it explodes and you lose a life (3 total)

Click/touch and drag anywhere on screen to charge and aim your shot. Release to fire. The green/blue circles around the launchers represent your ammo. Touch the launchers on the left/right to swap to them. 

Bombs take damage in 2 ways

  • Collision: Damage is dealt based on multiple factors
    • Mass - Heavier objects deal more damage to lighter objects, lighter objects deal less damage to heavier objects
    • Velocity - The faster the object, the more damaging the collision
    • Direction - A head-on collision is more damaging than a glancing blow
  • Energy/Explosion: Damage is unaffected by mass. Most energy damage is dealt in a radius and decreases with distance from the edge of the exploding object.

Bomb health and mass increase gradually over time. 

Equip new weapons by selecting the "Loadout" button at the menu. In the loadout menu, touching one of the 3 weapons at the top of the screen replaces it with the weapon in the middle of the weapon wheel. Click/touch the arrows to cycle the weapon wheel.

"Upgrade Points" (displayed in orange below the yellow score counter) are earned when you score points for destroying bombs. You can buy upgrades for your launchers by pressing the '^' symbol in the upper left of the game screen.

An overhaul of the upgrades menu (along with most of the UI) is in progress.

Things I plan to add:

  • Better difficulty progression
    • The current system causes bomb health and mass to increase over time. As the game goes on over time, survival eventually becomes virtually impossible, no matter how skilled the player is. It's lazily done, and anti-fun to an extent, so I'd like to replace the system entirely.
  • More projectiles/bombs

A fun little project! Well done.
Sorry it took me 3 years to notice you commented on a similar game that I made, lmao.

Thanks! No worries lol. I didn't mention it in the description but this game is pretty much directly inspired by Momentum Missile Mayhem like your game that I commented on.

I've since stopped working on this due to spaghetti code and other technical debt, but for whatever reason I left the web playable version in a broken state where you can't equip the other "unlockable" weapons. I'll have to replace it with a proper version at some point. I think the currently available Android version is in a better state though.
