Skyguard 3D
Skyguard 3D is a free air defence arcade game for Android, published by Forge Development Studio, in which you intercept incoming fire over six cities using three batteries of ten counter-missiles each.
Free to play with ads. Optional in-app purchases. No account and no internet connection needed.
Ammunition, not reflex, is the thing you run out of. You have exactly thirty counter-missiles a wave to stop what is falling on your skyline.
Tap where you want the intercept and the shell flies there. It does not travel instantly, so you are aiming at where the threat will be, not where it is.

How Skyguard 3D plays
Ammunition is the real resource
- Ten counter-missiles per battery, three batteries, and they do not refill mid-wave. Panic-firing at the first thing you see is how you lose the wave you have not seen yet.
- Every shot you did not need is worth points at the end of the wave. So is every city still standing. A clean wave pays twice.
When the last city goes, so do you
There are no lives. Six cities is your entire health bar, and they do not come back. Losing one is survivable; losing one every wave is a countdown you can watch.
This is not a tower defence
There is nothing to build, nothing to upgrade between waves, no tech tree and no timers ticking while the app is closed. Skyguard 3D is air defence as a pure arcade game: read the sky, spend the shells, keep the cities.
Controls
Tap a point in the sky to intercept there, with one thumb. Tilt is available in Settings and can be calibrated to your grip.
What an air defence arcade game asks of you
An air defence game hands you a magazine and a skyline and asks you to spend one to keep the other. The interesting decision is never where to aim, it is whether to spend a shell at all — because they do not come back mid-wave and every one you did not need is worth points when the wave ends.

Three things that are true of every run
Skyguard 3D needs no internet connection, no account and no sign-in. It plays the same in airplane mode as it does on wifi.
The game is free, ad-supported, and every cosmetic is bought with coins earned in play. The four in-app purchases are optional.
No energy meter, no lives refill, no daily reset. When a run ends the next one starts immediately.
