Air attack. Protect the base.

The sky darkens as hostile aircraft approach your stronghold. In this action-defense hybrid, you control an array of anti-aircraft artillery, each with its own firing arc and reload cycle. Your mission: intercept bombers, fighters, and gunships before they can drop their payloads on your command center. As the waves intensify, you'll need to prioritize targets, manage your limited ammunition, and make split-second decisions to keep your base operational. Between assaults, you can upgrade your weapon systems, unlock new turret types, and reinforce the base's armor. The game's escalating difficulty keeps you on edge, blending precise shooting with strategic resource allocation. Every wave feels like a new puzzle, and the threat of an airborne breakthrough adds a constant layer of tension. Whether you have a few minutes or an hour, this game offers a satisfying loop of action and planning that's easy to pick up but hard to put down.

What is Air attack. Protect the base.

You're the last line of defense. Enemy planes are coming, and your turrets are the only thing standing between them and your headquarters.

How to Play

Click or tap on an enemy aircraft to target it with your turrets, and use the on-screen controls to switch between weapon systems. Keep your ammunition in mind and reload or upgrade when the sky clears.

Tips for Playing

  • Focus on bombers first, as they deal the most damage to your base.
  • Don't waste ammo on fast fighters; let your machine guns handle them.
  • Save some ammunition for the final wave of each assault.
  • Upgrade your radar to see incoming threats earlier.
  • Place your turrets strategically to cover all approach angles.
