Missile Defender is the 8/24 app.

Defend your city! Incoming missiles rain down at night: tap on the screen and use the multi-touch feature to launch interceptors. Repairs and upgrades are available during the day. Keep an eye on your missile count and use them strategically. Reminiscent of a classic ’80s arcade game. Nostalgia incoming!
