Long-range pulse fire. Keep behind melee troops.
Invincible armies do not bleed or show damage numbers.
Campaign saves progress. Practice unlocks everything without changing your save.
Cheats disable progress for this run. Previous progress stays.
Cheats cannot revive a defeated army. Restart to try again. This run stays unsaved even after cheats are disabled.
3-second warm-up, then the timed test.
Controls lock during the test. Pausing, resizing or switching tabs cancels it. Results include frame times, GPU timings when available, and actual speed.
Actual speed depends on your hardware.
H hides damage labels. Escape opens the menu.
Campaign: defend the core and buy reinforcements. Sandbox: choose two armies and fight.
For a large battle, choose 200,000 DUDES from the menu.
Combined arms mixes all troop types. Classic melee has no shooters. Ranged clash has only shooters.
Base stats. Upgrades apply during a run.
11 unit types. 8 directions. 10 poses each.
A free army-defense game by Trent Sterling. Also includes sandbox battles up to 200,000 troops.
GPU-driven movement, contacts, projectiles and damage. Blood is stored in a fixed-size texture.
Built on Tront's BIOMASS crowd experiments. Inspired by mass-horde defense games including Crown Siege and Sir, We Have an Orc Problem. Independent project, no affiliation and no assets from those games.
Code and procedural art developed with AI assistance. MIT license. No tracking or runtime downloads. Progress saves in this browser; export it from Upgrades. Unfinished runs are not saved.

Troops heal between waves. Salvage lasts one run. Research is permanent.
Upgrades apply next run. Clear Timberline to unlock Titans.
SEND DUDES is a free browser siege game where the numbers are the point: two hundred thousand fighters on screen at once, every one of them simulated and drawn on the GPU with WebGPU compute. Outnumbered? Send dudes. Hold the core through three sieges, spend the kills on reinforcements, unlock Titans, and watch the frontline turn into blood that stays on the ground.
It grew out of BIOMASS, an earlier GPU crowd experiment, and keeps the same rule: no CPU fallback, so it needs a desktop browser with WebGPU. It is one HTML file with no install, made by Tront (Trent Sterling) with AI coding tools and a headless GPU test harness that checks the 200k showcase runs at speed before every release.
