Point Defence

Point Defence is a retro-style arcade game that brings back the nostalgia of classic shooting games from the 80s and 90s. The game is designed to be simple yet addictive, offering players a straightforward objective: control a fixed defense turret and shoot down incoming missiles before they hit your base. With every successful interception, you earn points, but if too many missiles get through, it's game over. This fast-paced gameplay ensures that players are constantly on their toes, testing their reflexes and timing.

As the game progresses, the challenges become more intense. The number of missiles increases, and their speed and patterns become more unpredictable. While ammunition is unlimited, players must periodically reload their turret, adding an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay. Along the way, there are health and ammo bonuses scattered throughout the screen, which can help you survive longer. Additionally, occasional bombers appear, capable of dealing significant damage if not taken out quickly. These elements keep the game dynamic and engaging, encouraging players to improve their skills over time.

The game also includes several features to enhance the player experience. A high-score table allows players to track their progress and compete with others. Difficulty settings let players adjust the challenge level according to their skill, making the game accessible for both casual and experienced gamers. There is also a fast device mode that optimizes the game for mobile devices, ensuring smooth performance even on less powerful hardware.
