A downloadable game for Android

This game was originally released on 2012/01/06 on the Android Market (subsequently the Play store), and was my first released game. It was auto-removed at some point because I never added a privacy policy. It's hosted here so that no matter what Google decides, this ancient game can remain available.

Nuke defense is a game in the style of Missile Command - where the player must fire missiles from the ground at falling nukes, in order to prevent them hitting the ground. Notable inclusions involve themed levels, powerups, and guided missiles (if you tap a nuke as it falls).

Almost every element of the game is procedurally generated  (the mountains, trees, buildings, backgrounds, rain, lightning, black holes, explosions, smoke, debris, etc), there are less than a dozen textures in the whole game (most things are vertex colors), and the entire APK clocks in at 1.6mb. All the sounds are played through native ogg vorbis bindings that I wrote (visible here), and even the text renderer was written by hand. It was a tech demo that morphed into a surprisingly mediocre game.
