Six games for the PAX Aus 2018 Indie Showcase Spin Rhythm, Infliction, Double Shot, Dissembler, Major League TeleBlast & Mars Underground

The games exemplify the creativity found within the indie development community across Australia and New Zealand and will be prominently featured at the show. PAX Aus 2018 will take place 26-28 Oct. 2018 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.


Chosen from a huge assortment of submissions by a panel of industry veterans, the six games join the ranks of previous Showcase winners such as Hollow Knight, Hacknet and Objects in Space. The 2018 PAX Aus Indie Showcase will be featured on the exhibition floor as part of PAX Rising, an area dedicated to indie games. The Indie Showcase is a snapshot of the best of the local industry, oozing innovation, style, and technical mastery.



“The rest of the world should fidget uncomfortably, because the work we see every year from Aussie and New Zealand developers is compelling beyond compare.” said Luke Lancaster, content manager, PAX Aus. “2018’s Indie Showcase winners are no different, and PAX is incredibly proud to share these six games with everyone come October.”
