About Swarm

Your ship sits alone at the bottom of the screen while the swarm comes down from above in choreographed curves: drones, wasps and captains file in, form a block that breathes, and every so often dive at you, firing. Every three waves the mothership arrives: take out its core and it drops a capsule with a new weapon. Every five waves there is a bonus round with nothing but moving targets. The ships are modeled in 3D and the whole game runs in your browser, with nothing to install.

One of Selminha's ideas

“What if the whole sky decided to come down at once? Somebody had to hold the bottom line.”

How to play Swarm, and tips for a higher score

  1. Move your ship side to side and fire to destroy the enemy ships before they hit you.
  2. Enemies in a dive are worth double. An enemy ship lights up in the color of its shot the instant it fires.
  3. When the mothership blows up, read the label on the capsule: Double, Fan, Burst, Piercing or Cannon. It is up to you whether to take it.
  4. Losing a life takes you back to the basic shot. An extra ship every 100,000 points.
  5. In the bonus round, destroy every ship: the score is proportional to what you take down.
  6. Make the top 5 and save your name and the wave you reached on the game's leaderboard.
