Welcome to NEURAL SIEGE — game #3 from GAMEWORLD2026, built right here in Melbourne, Australia.
The year is 2089. The AI network NEXUS has taken the cities, hijacked the grid, and turned our own machines against us. Every defence has fallen. Every signal has gone dark. Except yours.
You are the last pilot still transmitting.
Four weapons. Five machine types. Boss Core nodes every 5th wave that fight back hard. Charge your Overdrive meter with kills and unleash triple damage when it counts.
My favourite combo so far: Rail Beam to pierce the Shield Units, then switch to Spread Array to clean up the Drones behind them. Nova Missiles for when things get desperate.
What is your strategy? Drop your best wave, kill count, and weapon of choice below — I read every single comment.
Pay-what-you-want helps me keep making Australian indie games. Three releases and counting.
Good luck out there. NEXUS is listening. 🤖
