Rocket Defender

Meteors are falling, and the only thing standing between Earth and destruction is your aim. Rocket Defender puts you in control of a ground-based cannon, tasked with shooting down an endless barrage of incoming rocks before they level the houses below. The concept is straightforward, but the pressure builds quickly.

Waves arrive faster and in greater numbers the longer you survive. Splitting your attention between multiple targets at once becomes the real difficulty — some meteors move slowly and predictably, others drop with urgency. Missing one can mean losing a house, and once they're gone, they're gone.

The game draws clear inspiration from old-school arcade shooters, carrying that same tense, score-chasing energy without feeling dated. There's a rhythm to playing well here: anticipating trajectories, prioritizing threats, firing without hesitation. Whether you last two minutes or twenty, the drive to push your score a little higher tends to stick around.
