About Missile Escape
Missile Escape is a simple, fast paced and addictive 2D game where your mission is to dodge all homing missiles that comes towards you with one single objective: shoot you down! Use the simple control to fly your plane and avoid the missiles. Make them collide with each other and collect stars to increase final score.
How to play Missile Escape
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. The full control mapping is in the table below and takes a moment to skim. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.
