Why this cabinet works

A deliberate defense cabinet for players who enjoy planning scarce resources under pressure.

Signature mechanic

City defense where every shot is a resource and every chain reaction matters.

Beginner strategyFire high so blasts have time to expand. Defend launch batteries and dense city groups instead of chasing every missile.
Advanced scoringPlace one blast where several trajectories converge, delay shots for MIRV splits, and route supply-craft refills before a battery becomes critical.

Controls

Desktop

Aim with the mouse and click to fire. Arrow keys move the reticle; Space fires. P pauses.

iPhone and touch

Tap to fire, drag to track targets, and hold when auto-fire is enabled. Tap the cyan supply craft to refill operational batteries.

How the run works

01How scoring works

Warhead kills, multi-target chain reactions, surviving cities, remaining ammunition, and end-of-wave bonuses build the score.

02What ends a run

Enemy warheads destroy cities and batteries. The defense ends when the remaining city network can no longer continue.

03Start strong

Fire high so blasts have time to expand. Defend launch batteries and dense city groups instead of chasing every missile.

04Push the leaderboard

Place one blast where several trajectories converge, delay shots for MIRV splits, and route supply-craft refills before a battery becomes critical.

Strategy Lab

Three decisions shape most CITADEL INTERCEPT runs. Use this as a practical plan, then adapt when the cabinet pushes back.

First 30 secondsEstablish control

Protect surviving launch sites instead of trying to intercept every threat.

When pressure risesProtect the run

When ammunition tightens, defend city clusters and wait for warheads to enter efficient blast zones.

Leaderboard pushConvert safety into score

Time interceptions where one explosion can eliminate multiple incoming warheads.

Cabinet personality

CITADEL INTERCEPT makes every shot feel expensive. It is a defense game about restraint, geometry, and keeping the last lights on.
