These are the playgrounds, where the sky becomes your canvas and the missile launcher your brush... sort of.
All of the gifs you see on this page in the sidebar are from gameplay footage, just so you know.

However, be mindful, this isn't just about destruction.
It's about testing you CPU's limit.
How many missiles until it crashes?
Who knows... Its time to find out!

A free demo of the game is now available.

Features

Here's what you can expect to see in the playgrounds of Missile Fest:

• Feel like a developer: Test and modify every single value until the game feels just right for you!
• Multiple Guidance Systems: Experiment with a variety of guidance systems to manipulate the trajectory of your missiles.
  
• Customizable Barrage: Adjust settings of the missile launcher to your liking.
• Auto-Tracking: Let the game aim for you with automatic systems, if you want.
• Auto-Firing: Sit back and relax as the game also fires away with automatic systems, if you want.
  
• Smart-er Targets: I taught them to use evasive manoeuvres and launch flares.
  
• Be the Pilot: Change perspectives and try to dodge the barrage yourself. If you're feeling lucky...
  
• Itano Style: Unleash a display of missiles in the anime way, more than its reasonable because it looks cool.
  
• Multiple Camera Angles: Watch the action unfold from the perspective of your choice.
  
• Photo Mode: Fly around the game watching the action wherever you want!
• Missile Camera: Follow along the journey of where the missile is to where it isn't.

• Sandbox Style Chaos: Explore a playground of destruction where the sky's the limit and there are no micro-transactions to stop you.

Game Guide

If you want to check out what any of the game controls will do in the simulation and what they control, I've compiled a list with some details about them.
Check below a complete list of what each one of the configurations do.

Click Here to Expand

Configurations
Missiles & Guidance
Name	Type	Definition
Guidance Mode	Drop-down	Selects between each type of guidance algorithm
Missiles	Slider	Configures how many missiles to fire per launch.
Next Missile	Slider	Delay between the firing of each missile or salvo.
Itano Style	Slider	Sets how much the missiles will move like the anime ones. See “Itano Circus”.
Legacy 3D Model	Toggle	Use the old preview janky missile model or the new prettier models.
Missiles & Flares
Chance of Dud	Slider	The chance that a missile will misfire and fail.
Ignition Delay	Slider	The amount of delay between launching the missile and its engine igniting.
Follow Angle	Slider	Defines how many degrees can the missile see between the missile velocity vector and the target direction. More angle means the missile will do a 180° and keep chasing. Only applies to LOS type missiles.
Flare Range	Slider	Changes how far does the missile sees flares in front of it. The bigger the multiplier the easier a missile will go after a flare.
Ignore Flares	Toggle	If set to ON, the missile will ignore any flares in its flight path.
Hits Missiles	Toggle	If set to ON, the missile will be able to collide with other missiles mid flight.
Missiles & Speed
Burn Time	Slider	Sets how long the missile engine will have fuel for. The more the longer the flight.
Launch Force	Slider	Sets how fast the missile will be accelerated out of the launcher tubes.
Launch Randomness	Slider	Randomizes the flight direction of each missile when they are launched.
Acceleration	Slider	Defines how powerful the missile engines are.
Accel Variation	Slider	Sets a random variation in the acceleration. It is calculated as a range around the base value, with a min-max limit equal to the “Acceleration” slider range.
Launcher & Auto
Sequential Fire	Toggle	If set to OFF, the launcher will use a random tube for every launch. If ON, the missiles will use the tubes one-by-one sequentially. Only applies if the “Missiles” slider is bigger than ‘1’.
Salvo Launch	Toggle	If set to ON, the launcher will fire up to 16 missiles at once until all “Missiles” on the slider have been launched. If set to OFF, the missiles will be launched individually.
Auto Lock-On	Toggle	Defines if the player or the launcher aims at a target. The launcher can only track one target, in manual mode the player can track multiple targets.
Auto Launch	Toggle	Defines if the launcher will fire automatically or not. This uses the “Next Launch” as the firing interval.
Override Auto	Toggle	If set to ON, the player can send launch commands simultaneously while the “Auto Launch” is enabled. If OFF, only the launcher will do so in auto mode.
Switch Target	Button	Tells the launcher to switch targets. Only applies if the “Auto Lock-On” toggle is ON.

Tips.

Is this your first time playing or curious about each type of missile?
Click below to learn more.

Click here to expand

• The game should try to open in windowed mode the first time.
  • In case you need to change that, the game has a switch for it in the menus or in Windows you can use Alt + Enter to change to window mode as well.
• Although the window is resizable, this game works best on a 16:9 aspect ratio.
• Don't forget, the debug shortcuts can be very helpful, check the list above again if needed.
• Pause the game (Esc Key) to unlock the mouse cursor from the game window.
• Do you want to know what each guidance type abbreviation means? Check them out below:
  • Dumb -> No guidance system. Flies mostly straight.
  • Follow -> Point to towards target and GO. Like most missiles in games.
  • LOS -> Line of Sight. Similar to follow mode but can loose track of the target.
  • Predictive LOS -> Line of Sight that tries to move towards where the target will be around quarter of a second in the future.
  • Proportional Nav. -> Proportional Navigation - More precise, tries to predict the target trajectory.
  • ZEM -> Zero Effort Miss - Proportional Nav. with some sauce.
  • Itano -> Follows the target while waving towards it.
  • Random -> Chooses a guidance type randomly.

System Requirements

The game was developed for Windows, however, I'm uploading Linux and Mac builds, too. Just keep in mind that I'm not able to provide full support for these platforms. 

General System Guidelines

Item	Specification
Processor	6th Generation Core i3 or better
Memory	at least 1 GB of free RAM or 6 GB of total RAM
Graphics Card	GTX 800 series and above
Graphics API	DirectX 11 or higher.
Storage	400 MB or more of free disk space

This is just an idea for a good experience.
This is not a completely precise benchmark, so let me know if you have any trouble with it.
