In every Selminha game: P to pause · M to toggle sound · SPACE or tap to startAbout 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, settle into a formation that breathes in and out, 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's 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.
In Selminha's words
“What if the whole sky decided to come down at once? Somebody had to hold the line.”
How to play Swarm, and tips for a higher score
- Move your ship side to side and fire to destroy the enemy ships before they hit you.
- Diving enemies are worth double. An enemy ship lights up in the color of its shot the instant it fires.
- When the mothership blows up, read the label on the capsule: Twin, Spread, Burst, Piercing or Cannon. It's up to you whether to grab it.
- Losing a life takes you back to the basic shot. You get an extra ship every 100,000 points.
- In the bonus round, destroy every ship: the more you take down, the more you score.
- Make the TOP 5 to save your name on the leaderboard, along with the wave you reached.
