Neon Interceptor
About
A neon cyberpunk missile defense game. Enemy warheads rain down on a glowing skyline and three launch silos are all that stand between the grid and the dark. Endless waves, rising forever.
Objective
Detonate your interceptors in the path of incoming missiles before they reach the city. Every tower you keep standing is worth points at the end of a wave — lose them all and the run is over.
Chain Reactions
Every missile you kill explodes in turn, and those blasts kill too. Place one detonation where a cluster is about to converge and the whole formation goes up in a single cascade.
The Roster
Eight warhead types, introduced one at a time so you learn each before the next arrives: darts that outrun your reflexes, weavers that refuse to be led, MIRVs that split into three, armoured bulwarks, cloaked phantoms, swarms, and siege shells that level a city block. From wave six, any of them can arrive hardened as a gold elite.
Carriers
Every fifth wave a carrier holds station overhead and keeps launching until you bring it down. It soaks a lot of blasts, so your silos trickle-reload while it is up — running dry is a setback, not a dead end.
Abilities
Six of them — EMP Blast, Laser Beam, Chain Lightning, Gravity Well, Black Hole and Time Slow — and not one of them runs on a cooldown timer. They charge purely from playing well: interceptions weighted by your combo multiplier, clutch saves, perfect waves and carrier kills. Sit still and you earn nothing.
Progression
Thirteen achievements, five colour themes and four rulesets. Nothing here can be bought and nothing grants an advantage in the air — themes are cosmetic, and every ruleset makes the game harder in exchange for a score multiplier, up to Glass City where a single lost tower ends the run. The only thing that improves your position is playing better.
How to play
Tap or click where you want the blast — the nearest loaded silo fires automatically.
Lead your targets. Interceptors take time to fly, so aim at where the missile will be, not where it is.
Each silo carries ten rounds per wave and reloads between waves. Unspent ammo pays out as a bonus, so don't spray.
Press P or Escape to pause.
Clear a wave without letting anything reach the city for a perfect-wave bonus that scales with the wave number.
Keep killing inside the combo window to climb the multiplier to x8. Low-altitude saves pay a clutch bonus on top.
When the slot below the centre silo lights up, tap it. Screen-wide abilities fire at once; aimed ones arm, and your next tap places them. Q works too.
On the title screen, tap the arrows to change theme or ruleset, and the achievements row to see what is left to earn. Arrow keys and A do the same.
