Aegis Arc

Protect your cities by dragging incoming missiles to redraw their paths, steering them off-screen, into the ground, or into one another. Survive every wave with at least one city left.

• Drag a missile to bend its arc away from your cities
• Each deflection costs fuel based on how hard you bend it
• Fuel refills between waves; bonus points for mid-air collisions

• Desktop: press and drag a missile to reshape its flight path
• Phone & tablet: full touch support, drag with your finger

• Daily seeded run or Practice
• Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty

• Small early nudges cost less fuel than a last-second hard turn
• Line up two missiles to cancel each other and save fuel
• Protect your most-clustered cities first when fuel runs low

The situation is Missile Command's: objects falling toward something you must protect, and not enough of you to go around.

The original departure is that you have no guns. Nothing is destroyed — you bend a falling missile's trajectory until it misses.

That replaces interception with deflection, and it is a different kind of thinking. Shooting something down is a timing problem; nudging it off course is a geometry problem, solved earlier in the fall and with less margin the longer you wait.

Aegis Arc reinvents the missile-defense genre by deflecting threats instead of shooting them. It is an original free browser game built in-house for PlayPendium.
