🏊 SWIM. 🚴 BIKE. 🏃 RUN.

This is the game I have wanted to exist for years. Nobody made it. So I built it.

IRON CIRCUIT is a rhythm-based triathlon game with real distances from four of the most iconic courses on the planet — Sydney, Tokyo, Nice, and Kona. You tap in rhythm to swim, pedal, and stride. You manage your energy across three disciplines. You race against 7 AI opponents who each have their own strategy.

The part that gets me every time is The Wall. You are at 70% of the run. The screen darkens. Your speed drops. Your energy drains. You have to decide — do I push through or do I conserve and hope the AI fades too? That decision changes every race.

My first completion of the Kona Iron distance took me by surprise. 3.8km swim, 180km bike, 42.2km marathon. When the finish line appeared and the crowd kicked in, I genuinely felt something. That is what triathlon does to you.

Tips for new racers: save your sprint for the final 5% of the run. Hit the aid stations with E. Draft behind AI opponents to save energy. And learn the rhythm — PERFECT hits cost almost nothing and give maximum speed.

What course are you starting with? Drop your first finish time below. I want to see who can crack a gold medal on Kona.

Race hard. 🥇

⚡ CIRCUIT ACTIVE.

This one is completely different from everything before it. No aiming. No clicking to shoot. Your weapons fire automatically. You move, you survive, you build.

12 weapons in the pool. Every level-up gives you a choice of 3 random upgrades. Every run plays out differently depending on what you pick.

My current favourite build: Orbit Orbs + Chain Lightning + Damage Field. Everything around you melts. But the Kernel bosses that spawn every 2 minutes will test any loadout.

Can you survive all 10 minutes? Drop your final weapon build and score below.

Good luck. The horde never stops. 🤖

📡 SIGNAL ACTIVE.

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. 🤖

🧟 PROTOCOL ACTIVE.

Welcome to DEAD PROTOCOL — my second indie release, built right here in Melbourne, Australia!

Top-down zombie survival arena. WASD to move, mouse to aim, click to unleash hell. Walkers, Runners, Brutes, Spitters and massive Bosses every 5th wave — each one tougher than the last.

4 weapons to master. Shotgun spread. Piercing rifle. Rocket launcher explosions. Level up between waves and choose your upgrades wisely.

How many waves can you survive? Drop your best wave and kill count below — I read every single comment.

If you enjoyed SHADOW COUNSEL 2026, this one takes it to a whole new level. Pay-what-you-want helps me keep building Australian indie games.
