What we're building

One game out the door, more in the yard. Everything we ship is original: our own factions, characters, units, and story.

Dread Alert

Released Android Strategy

Real-time strategy · Single player · Plays offline · No account

Drive your founder rig into unknown ground, deploy it into a headquarters, send collectors out for salvage, and raise a base while the enemy does the same on the far side of the map. Then go and take theirs apart.

Two ten-mission campaigns with cutscenes and a cast of nineteen characters, plus skirmish against an AI that only sees what its units see. Every skirmish map is generated from a seed you can share.

Touch first, not touch portedTap to select, tap to move, drag to box-select. Two fingers pan, pinch zooms. Every action within two taps.
A real base-building RTSSalvage economy, ghost placement, production queues, power management, and a tech tree gated by what you've built.
Fog of warScouted terrain stays revealed. Enemies only show while your units can see them. The AI plays by the same rule.
Story modeTwo campaigns, ten missions each. Progress is saved on your device.

The Rednecks

Junk-built grit

Salvage-yard crews who strip the ruins and weld what they need. Cheap units, fast production, and the Collective Grid: structures that strengthen their neighbours. Their Harmony Broadcasters turn enemy units against their own side.

The Cityboys

Corporate firepower

Corporate money reclaiming the wasteland as an asset. Expensive, elite units that repair themselves, Brokers who buy out neutral ground, and reinforcements airdropped straight to the front for a price.
