About Moon Defender 3017
The Dark Lord is smashing the moons of Jupiter, hunting for the rare metals hidden in their cores. Dozens are already rubble. Only 17 moons remain – and you are all that stands between him and the end of the solar system. MOON DEFENDER 3017 is a fast, glowing arcade defense game in the style of classic vector monitors. Tap anywhere in the sky and your missile detonates exactly there. Time it right, catch the rocks in the blast – and don't let a single one hit your colony. AIM FOR THE CENTER A hit in the heart of the blast destroys a rock and pays up to four times the points. Clip it with the edge and it splits in two – now you have two problems. Catch several targets in one explosion to chain a COMBO. DON'T PANIC-FIRE Every missile still in the air weakens your next shot. Stay calm, pick your moment, and your blasts stay at full power. BUILD YOUR ARSENAL Shoot down falling capsules for repairs, shield energy and faster missiles. Upgrade packs power up your shield, your AI auto-cannon, your drones and the drone factory – for the rest of the campaign. • Shield dome – protects the colony while it has energy • AI auto-fire – takes over the aiming for a few shots • Drone swarm – your factory builds hunter drones that laser their way from target to target 17 MOONS, ONE CAMPAIGN From tiny Callirrhoe to mighty Ganymede, every moon is a new level of 3 to 17 waves – with a different view of Jupiter looming over the battlefield. Watch out for hunter asteroids diving straight at your launcher, and for the motherships that end every stage. Your progress is saved at every moon. FEATURES • Pure vector-arcade look – glowing lines, beam-written titles, zero clutter • One-finger controls, made for portrait play • 17 moons, 3 to 17 waves each – the bigger the moon, the longer the fight • A Dark Lord who heckles you all the way – and a real finale • Combo and precision scoring • Upgrades for shield, AI, drones, factory and launcher • Checkpoint at every moon – continue any time • Online ranking – your rank on every moon, in your country and worldwide (anonymous) • In English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Polish • No ads, no in-app purchases, no account The Dark Lord is waiting. Defend the moons.
What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated October 28, 2026
The biggest update yet: a new route through Jupiter's moons, a cinematic finale – and a Dark Lord who never shuts up. A NEW ROUTE TO JUPITER • Choose your moon in a 3D Jupiter system – drag to turn and tilt it, every orbit at its real inclination • New campaign order: the far outer moons first, the small inner moons as a breather, then the Galilean giants – with Io as the finale • A short flight carries you from one moon to the next • New moon hazards: Europa's tidal line catches falling rocks, and on Metis night falls – rocks only show where there is light • A cinematic finale: the Dark Lord breaks apart and the moons light up one by one THE DARK LORD • He heckles you in the middle of every wave – misses, hits on the city, low energy, even a lucky combo • His new look: a cyber skull with glowing eye slits and a jaw on pistons NEW ARSENAL • Defence satellite – crosses the sky and fires on its own • L capsule – a laser chain between your missiles in flight • Stronger drones that hit a second target, the AI as an emergency weapon • New in the settings: put the buttons on a hill at the bottom right instead of the column on the edge • Play at 1X, 2X or 3X speed ONLINE RANKING • See your rank on every moon, in your country and worldwide – anonymous, no account AND MORE • A playable tutorial • Now in Japanese and Polish • New app icon and launch screen • Lots of balancing: fewer but better capsules, zeppelins, giant rocks that burst into pebbles
