The Story

Step Right Up to a Carnival That Bites Back

Born in a Redfern back room

Born in a Redfern back room

We built NeonWildForge in a two-bedroom studio on Redfern Street, jamming after our day jobs. The idea was simple: what if a carnival midway was also a monster-forging workshop, and every game night ended with a leaderboard shout-out down at the local?

Every run is a brand-new midway

Every run is a brand-new midway

Procedurally stitched tents, rigged games, and rival barkers mean no two runs feel the same. Forge a beast, upgrade it at the anvil, then gamble your winnings on the wheel — press your luck or bank it and move to the next stall.

Made for the commute, not the couch

Made for the commute, not the couch

A full run lands in 6 to 9 minutes, autosaves between waves, and plays perfectly in portrait with one thumb. Put it down on the 373 bus and pick it up exactly where you left off — no accounts, no waiting.

What You Get

Four Ways to Rule the Midway

Hammer beasts into being

Combine ember, glass, and gearwork on the anvil to forge over 60 neon beasts, each with a signature attack and a mutation tree. Tap-and-hold to charge a strike, release to shape the creature — timing decides its rarity.

  • 60+ forgeable beasts across 5 elements
  • Charge-and-release crafting you feel in your thumb
  • Mutation trees that reshape a run mid-wave

What Forgers Are Saying

"I forged a glass basilisk on the 6:40 ferry and it carried me to rank 12 worldwide. Now the whole office plays the weekly seed — the Monday leaderboard trash talk is unreal."
