Planetary Defense description
Planetary Defense is an arcade/strategy space game, specially designed to be download-friendly.
Planetary Defense is an arcade/strategy space game for Windows. Specially designed to be download-friendly, the Games fully functional demo weighs in at just 3MB!
Despite its tiny install size, Planetary Defense offers you bags of gameplay, with simple levels defending a small world against streams of rockets, right up to complex levels with multiple moons, defensive shields, evacuating cities and a wide variety of attacking aliens including multiple-warhead scatterpacks, Cloaked cruisers and laser equipped point defence satellites.
Planetary Defense has 21
action-packed missions for you to play through on 3 difficulty settings. You can also adjust the overall speed of the game if you find it too easy or too hard.
Although Planetary Defense starts off simple, things really hot up when you have bases to defend on orbiting moons, a planetary shield to defend, and enemy laser satellites blasting your rockets as they leave the launchpads!
To defend your planets you have 2 types of rocket, a fast rapid-fire missile (right-mouse button) which explodes ahead of your target and uses it shockwave to destroy incoming rockets, but which is also itself destroyed by other rockets blast waves, and a slower 'shielded' missile (left-mouse button) which is not destroyed by other missile shock waves.
You will have to pick the right missile for the right job, and you only have a limited supply of each. With this said, have fun...
