How to play City Shield

  1. Tap the sky to fire an interceptor from the nearest battery. It explodes where you tapped.
  2. Missiles caught in a blast explode too — chain them for big points. Lose every city and the run ends.
  3. Batteries hold 10 shots per wave. Shoot supply crates for ammo; beware MIRVs, bombers and smart bombs.
  4. Every 5th wave a mothership attacks — hit it 3 times. Upgrades add ammo, blast size and shields.

Missions to chase

Every run counts toward missions that pay out XP. Clear a tier to unlock the next one:

  • Destroy 30 missiles in one run
  • Reach wave 3
  • Destroy 200 missiles in total
  • Set off a 4-missile chain
  • Reach wave 6
  • Finish 3 waves without losing a city
