Gameplay
Everything happens where you are.
Missile Wars turns the walk to work into a war zone — with enough privacy controls to keep it a game.
Play on the real map
Your position is your base. Missiles travel across real streets with live trajectories, and you get a countdown to run when one's headed your way.
Airspace & diffused location
Each league has an airspace radius. Turn on diffused location and your exact position is blurred inside it — playable without broadcasting where you are.
Loot, coins & the store
Common, uncommon and rare drops pay out items, coins, rank points and health. Spend coins in the shop or go premium.
Friends & chat
Friends, requests, chat and profiles follow you between servers, so your crew is always one tap away.
Alerts that matter
Push notifications when something enters your airspace, when you're hit, and when friends are nearby.
Make it yours
Map themes — Radar, Cyberpunk, Cherry Blossom, a colour-blind palette — and alternate app icons.
Arsenal & progression
Pick your weapon. Climb the ladder.
Nine missiles with their own speed, blast radius, damage and fallout — from the nimble Zippy to the 10,000-coin TheNuke.

Airspace grows from 60 m in Bronze to 200 m in Legend. Divisions update hourly.
Under the hood
Modular backends. Anyone can host.
The 2026 rebuild split one big backend into independent game servers. A lightweight coordinator finds you the nearest one and vouches for you; the shard runs the game.

Nearest wins
The coordinator ranks shards by distance, preferring verified servers and quieter ones on a tie. Or pick your own from the server list.
Each shard is a world
Inventory, coins and rank live on the shard. Your friends and chats follow you everywhere.
One-click hosting
Docker Compose brings up a shard and its database. Register it, get an API key, and it shows up in the picker.
Trust, verified
Shards check coordinator-signed tokens. Unverified servers come with a clear warning before you join.
