About Atomic City
Your city is under attack by "you know who." Bombs are flying by the thousands. The forecast predicts very hot, dry air for the next minutes before a nuclear winter. Atomic City is a bullet hell with one minute waves. You only need the mouse and a few minutes to get into its frenetic gameplay.
How to Play:
- On your doomsday control device (the mouse): Use the left button for left weapon, and right button for right weapon. You can use the middle mouse button to swap equipped weapons.
- You start with basic weapons, which have infinite ammo. Adjust your aim; enemies are moving.
- Supplies emerge from remains. Let them land to equip them. Weapons will equip the side where they land. Shoot them before landing for gold coins.
- New weapons are powerful but have limited ammo, and once depleted, you will fall back on the basic weapons. Keep an eye on your ammo reserve.
- Each wave of attack lasts one minute. Survive to access the shop where you can buy new supplies. End the wave without any damage for a gold bonus. Earn at least 999 gold to unlock an emergency drop, but it will cost you all.
- Very low friction learning curve. All weapons fire, reload, and transition automatically. You can just play by holding the mouse buttons. The game is designed for ease of play without sacrificing challenge.
- You can not beat the game, but you can top the online leaderboard.
- left weapon : left mouse button or "A"
- right weapon : right mouse button or "D"
- swap weapons : middle mouse button or "space"

This fast-paced, mouse-only bullet hell serves up frantic, one-minute waves of survival that somehow feel both exhilarating and soul-crushing. It’s simple to pick up, impossible to put down, and even harder to master. [h1]About This Game[/h1] [h2]Storyline [/h2] The story? It's the apocalypse, and you’re the only thing standing between your city and total annihilation. Bombs, missiles, and hypersonic fighters are raining from the sky, courtesy of “you know who.” Spoiler alert: it’s less about uncovering why this is happening and more about surviving it. [h2]Gameplay Mechanics[/h2] The genius of Atomic City lies in its simplicity. You’ve got your trusty mouse—left click for one weapon, right click for the other, and middle click to swap between the limited-use power-ups you collect.

Atomic City is a compact but fiercely focused arcade experience developed and published by anthund that distills classic city-defense shooters into a modern, mouse-driven format. From the opening moments, the game makes its priorities clear: immediacy, intensity, and clarity. There is no lengthy tutorial or narrative framing to wade through—your city is under attack, and survival depends entirely on how quickly you can read the screen, prioritize threats, and keep your aim steady as the sky fills with danger. The core loop revolves around defending a vulnerable city from relentless aerial assaults delivered in rapid, minute-long waves. Enemy aircraft streak across the screen, dropping bombs and missiles that must be intercepted before they reach the ground. The elegance of the design lies in its simplicity: left and right mouse buttons control separate weapons, while a quick swap lets you adapt to changing situations on the fly. Basic weapons have unlimited ammunition, encouraging constant engagement, while more powerful tools appear intermittently and demand careful timing to maximize their impact. The result is a rhythm of constant motion and decision-making where hesitation is …2 found this helpful
