This really is a perfect survival game. So many other games just take an action game, remove the ending, and call it a survival game but this really was clearly built from the ground up to embody the feeling that you're just holding off the inevitable. You're overwhelmed quickly and you have to let go of some of your stuff to survive just a few minutes longer. The music especially adds to the feeling, and the swarms of rockets are seriously intimidating. Everyone who wants to call their game a survival game seriously needs to play this first.

Upgrade Siphon to lvl2 and Flak to lvl1 and keep that flak shooting
Upgrade your Missile Reload to lvl 1
Upgrade Flak and Siphon to 3, keep that flak shooting
Upgrade your Missile Reload to lvl3
Upgrade EMP straight to lvl3, and time slow to whatever you can afford
By now you will be receiving hits, so dont forget your shield reload speed.
Keep shooting the Flakcannon, and reloading its shield with Siphon as often as you can
Fire off your EMP when your flak is offline or when your're starting to feel overwhelmed.
This will buy you time, which Siphoncity needs to reload its batteries to supply your flak with power.
Finaly, when Flak and Siphon-city start receiving critical hits, and EMP is not giving enough time for Siphon to reload. Its time to abandon your cities and focus on your own survival.

A easy way to get the Accuracy badge is not to shoot and just let yourself die after the tutorial you will get the Pacifist and Marksmanship medals

WOO impossible badge!!
For those looking to do the same, three tips.
1) To get the disabled platinum medal, use the flak-cannon/shield siphon setup; continually upgrade these two. Then upgrade the main base and the EMP; kill any missiles that get through. When you feel overwhelmed, fire the EMP. When all else fails, survive with your main building only.
2) To get the other three platinum badges, ONLY use your main building; you won`t get the "deadeye" badge otherwise. If you survive long enough to get 2000 kills, you should have 10,000 resources no problem.
3) Most important of all, pause and take a few minutes' worth of breaks now and then, especially when they begin raining down on you. This important because you will feel too panicked, especially with the Fortuna music.
Anyways, an awesome game which really challenged me. 4/5. There's sometimes too much screen shake, and sometimes missile explosions obscure the images of missiles trailing right behind it.

This game basically has 3 phases:
1 - You shoot down all missiles and carefully consider what to upgrade.
2 - You have upgraded almost everything, FLAK is screening the sky and you have EMP ready for emergencies.
3 - All you have left is the missile base and you are desparately trying to survive.

It's not mentioned anywhere but the Time Slow building not only slows enemies down but also accelerates your ammo production while active, so it's not completely useless.

I got the badges automatically, it works.
The 1-4 refers to the best type of medal you got.
1 being Platinum, 4 being Bronze.

For those wondering why this is suddenly "new," it seems there was some mess up where games were unpublished. Here's a thread: http://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/910497-some-games-suddenly-unpublished

If I am sitting here destroying thousands of trillions of dollars worth of ICBMs, why don't I have more than 1 anti-missile silo?

Tips from an experienced Missile Command player:
1. The best way to get far is to concentrate defenses on a single area. In Missile Command you had separate missile launchers and cities, but the same principle applies in this game.
2. Ignore anything which not pose an immediate threat. In the long run the extra resources from destroying those missiles doesn't make up for the possible losses.
3. Shoot the enemies who produce more shots as quickly as possible. Don't let an enemy in a parachute or the green insect stay above you! For they will only continue to cause trouble.
4. Don't worry about upgrading anything except your main tower. You'll have a hard time getting 10,000 resources anyway, and investing in other buildings is just a waste.
5. DO upgrade your main tower. So long as it is standing you can still kill enemies, which leads to a longer survival time.
Hopefully this is helpful. Rate it whichever way you want.

"easiest" way to do it: Only worry about the shield base and your main base. Unless you are a god of micro-managing, it's nearly impossible to protect all 5 buildings. So just put points into your main building and the shield building. The shield building will be there to save you when you take a few hits, and your main building will do the rest of the work. It just takes patience and accuracy beyond that.

Hmm maybe after buying everything resources should be usable to buy more shielding or something when the shields run low

My advices for getting impossible:
(1.)Although music is f*cking epic, DISABLE IT right now. It makes you very nervous (my performance improved a lot when I realize I had to disable it)
(2.)It seems upgrading the building isn't necessary and only the main building is important but IT ISN'T. You always must go for shield lvl 3, flak lvl 4 and EMP lvl 2 (beside the missile reload upgrade). This way with flak and EMP you get a lot of kills and disabled missiles for the medal.
(3.) The "take a break" advice is also very good, from time to time, pause the game and masturbate yourself or stuff.
I got the 4 medals in a single game. Luck!

If the game displays in the top right of the screen (smaller than normal size), you can correct it by right clicking, then selecting 'zoom in', then 'zoom out'. For a totally black screen right-click and select 'play'.
Hope this helps!

you spent $1,000,000,000,000 on all those missiles to blow up 5 buildings, you call it a victory, I'll call it the alamo.

Please take the time to look up what Mutually Assured Destruction is... the name of this game was not ripped off of some tv show or what ever, I assure you that.

-Captain, shoudn't we just drop a bomb so big they would die even if they destroyed it? +Nah, just keep up with the carpet bombing. -Fine, I'll go launch some guided missiles to their main building. +No. Just throw random missilies in a random pattern. -But... +I said random missiles in a random pattern!!!

So I downloaded the SWF to peek inside the code to see what's going on with the badges-- it looks like the way it reports medals is like this: "_root.kongregateStats.submit("deadeye", 4);" The Kong API is only set to track the value of any medals earned and not the actual statistics. If you get a "4", it means you got bronze, "3" is silver, "2" is gold, "1" is platinum.

I think my favorite part of the game is the way the missles tumble. Late game when you are basically able to fire anywhere and hit a half dozen missles those tumblers are just beautiful to watch
