Official Release Date

Hello Commanders, we are happy to announce that everything is ready and we are launching at June 8th, 2017 @ 12:00am PDT. We are only waiting approval from Valve for a last technical detail and we decided to give a 1-week notice before the launch. Regarding the launch version, we have included all of the immediate feedback from the community and the testers (balancing, UI improvements, pacing, more settings for Bases) and also added 4 new Upgrades for the Bases. These new Upgrades are different from Boosters, in the sense that they permanently improve all the Bases so you can have some form of progression. We are listening to all the feedback and after we launch the game in about a week we will give priority to any new issues if they occur. For the future we have ideas about a new campaign mode with story elements, small and big Bosses, new Boosters, new Upgrades, new modes, co-op missions and more. Depending on the reception from the community we will start adding more and more of the above ideas, while also listening to your feedback for new and exciting ones. As a last note please feel free to email us at any time (either for good or bad) so we can make the game even greater together. Stay tuned for the release and help us defend Earth!

Development Update

Hello Commanders, We are working around the clock to improve the game and develop a great version for Steam, hence the slight delay with our launch. We aim to release Galactic Missile Defense during the next month, as we are doing many improvements and do not want to just port the mobile version. The game will work across all three platforms that Steam supports and after the launch we will be watching and discussing with our community, to add more features and provide frequent content updates. Make sure to follow the game and stay tuned for the release date. We will do our best to complete the final Steam version as soon as possible, until then please feel free to continue providing your valuable feedback. Thank you!
