Laser Command
Hold the city against the barrage
Hold the city while the barrage falls.
Sweep the cannon, time the shot, keep the last dome standing.
About Laser Command
You sweep a single cannon across the skyline and pick which dome you are willing to lose. Timing the shot matters more than spraying it, and the last dome standing decides how long the run lasts.
How to play Laser Command
Protect your four ground bases from an incoming missile barrage.
Controls
- · Hold ◀ / ▶ to move the battery.
- · Press FIRE to launch an interceptor that detonates into a blast radius.
Rules & scoring
- · Points per missile destroyed; a blast that catches several at once scores best.
- · The game ends when the last base is flattened.
Tips
- · Fire ahead of the missile — the blast takes a moment to bloom.
Retro inspiration
Defend-the-base games arrived with the first wave of electronic handhelds around 1980, when a row of dots could suddenly mean a city.
