Description

Short: Fly a living swarm through asteroid fields, ship fleets and giant bosses.

Long: Swarmoids is a neon arcade shooter in which you do not fly a ship but a flock of swarmoids. The swarm follows your cursor; every swarmoid is a shot waiting to be fired and a point of health you can lose. Fire into rocks and enemy ships, sweep your shots back up, and keep the flock alive through thirty levels with a boss every five. Twenty-four swarms offer different stats and special moves, local and online co-op let two players fly together, and a set of 29 achievements rewards mastery, from near misses to taking down the final Nemesis.
