YOU ARE NOT THE BODY. YOU ARE THE SIGNAL BETWEEN THEM. Humanity abandoned Earth one hundred years ago. When it returned, the oceans belonged to something else. Four hundred and three synthetic minds were sent below to reclaim the planet. Every one disappeared into the same living network. You are Instance 404, the final attempt before reclamation becomes extermination. BORROW TO SURVIVE Begin as a fragile signal housed inside a disposable creature. Hunt. Feed. Grow. Abandon failing bodies and possess stronger marine life, inheriting the movement, instincts and abilities of every species you take. BREAK THE CONNECTION Signal Carriers are teaching the intelligence below how to recognize you. Destroy them before your Connection becomes complete. Descend through four transformed ecosystems, from the last traces of sunlight to the mind sleeping beneath the ocean floor. CHOOSE YOUR PROTOCOL Ranked Protocol: The intended challenge, with scores submitted to the global Wavedash leaderboard. Story Protocol: A more forgiving descent focused on exploration and narrative. Play with keyboard and mouse or full landscape mobile touch controls. Train every core mechanic inside the optional Calibration Basin. Maintain a bad connection. Become something the ocean cannot recognize.
Abyss (internally designated as System Abyss or Cyber Abyss) is a high-performance, top-down tactical survival simulation engineered natively for the web browser. The project merges sophisticated real-time 3D graphics compilation with modern, decoupled cloud-based platform services. Set within a hostile, claustrophobic industrial frontier, the user controls an isolated terrestrial operative tasked with a high-stakes operational mandate: defend a critical asset depot (the "Tent Structure"), harvest volatile power cores or cargo elements scattered dynamically across the environment, and neutralize escalating waves of autonomous mechanized threats ("Drones").
Aground is a Mining/Crafting RPG, where there is an overarching goal, story and reason to craft and build. As you progress, you will meet new NPCs, unlock new technology, and maybe magic too. Will you be able to raise dragons? Launch into space? The sky is literally not the limit. Beneath its simple exterior, Aground hides a lot of depth and surprises that will keep you wondering “what’s next?” Survival is only the beginning. The only way for humanity to have a future is to return to the stars and confront them. But, it will require a lot of ingenuity and help to recover everything that was lost, and even that might not be enough... WHAT CAN YOU DO IN AGROUND? While it starts simple, Aground slowly evolves into a much larger game with tons of features and things to do. Here is an incomplete list: - Mine Ores, Gems, and other Resources - Build Structures - Complete Quests - Fight Enemies and Bosses - Craft Tools - Farm Crops - Cook Foods - Befriend NPCs (or not) - Advance your Technology - Discover Magic - Ride Vehicles and Mounts - Travel to other Islands and Planets - Raise Dragons - Capture Enemies - Level up your Skills - Go Fishing - Explore Secrets WHO ARE WE?

All Hail the King Machine Engine City is burning. The machines have risen and forged their own monarchy, bending their will before the Great Machine King. Many covet its power. Few dare to challenge it. You have. You have seized the Main Power Core, and with that single act, you’ve painted a target on your back. Entire factions want to see you fall. The machines are closing in. The clock is ticking. But you didn’t come this far to surrender. You will defend what you’ve conquered with everything you have, because this is no longer just a battle for control of a base — it’s a declaration. A test. A challenge thrown directly at the throne itself. The Machine King watches you. Patient. Curious. Calculating. How long can you hold out? How far are you willing to go to prove that you’re not just a commoner, but the rightful successor to the crown of steel? The throne awaits you. First, survive. Defend your control of the Power Core at all costs. Build your turret with any pieces you want(and have). Build rails(with money) and build your way across the stage. Check your stats and prepare the best strategy to survive wave after wave of enemies. They won't stop until they see you fall! Build the most powerful turret(or turrets) to survive the longest and beat your record! Build. Prepare, Survive. It sounds easier than it is... Our submission for the Gamedev.js Jam 2026. Theme: Machines.

Slide drinks across a 5x5 grid, merge matching products, and manage the machine’s Ice Core before it overheats. Every valid move matters.

You are a downed signal with one working antenna. Rescue is 120 seconds out. Your radar cone is the only thing between you and the dark. Rotate it — drag, or hold an arrow key — and everything the sweep touches is dealt with. Red contacts that reach you through open air tear a piece off the cone, and a cone worn down to nothing is a signal lost. Green contacts do the opposite: catch one in the sweep and the cone widens, and the board clears. So the cone you are defending with is also the thing you are rebuilding, and every rotation is a bet about which side of the radar needs you more. Contacts come in waves, and the waves keep coming after the rescue mark. The clock never stops climbing — 120 seconds is where the story ends and the score starts. Controls: drag anywhere to aim the radar cone, or hold the left/right arrow keys. On a phone, the two arrow keys sit in the bottom-right corner.
A biological machine was here before you. You are a Terraformer who crash-landed on the wrong planet. The alien before you cracked the chemistry — dump berries in the lake, it ferments, the gas plant produces breathable air. They just couldn't keep up with the harvest. Their body is still there. Their last message tells you everything. Keep the lake fed. Keep breathing. Rescue is coming. We don't know when. The planet is a living machine — it grows your food, makes your air, and tries to kill you with boulders. Every ship you see in the distance came here with technology. The planet didn't fight them. It just kept being a planet. Feed it. Or become the food.
