Armor Command is a compact HTML5 arcade prototype built for phone play. Tap to launch interceptor missiles, hold to spray turret fire, and survive waves of incoming warheads as the pressure climbs.


Every run starts with a lean armor platform and a starter gun. Between waves, bolt on upgrades: missile batteries with independent cooldowns, slave drones, scatter barrels, heavier shots, wider explosions, and faster weapon servos. Enemy missiles get faster, tougher, and more numerous as the wave count rises, so clean targeting and cooldown rhythm matter more every minute.


This is a prototype in active development, focused on immediate touch feel, readable side-view vehicle combat, and a survivorlike upgrade loop.

#Development Note


Armor Command grew out of the same phone-first Termux workflow as Marrow Runner: fast local iteration, AI-assisted art direction, generated sprite sheets, and immediate browser testing on the target device.
