About Swarm

Swarm is a bullet-heaven where you are the horde rather than the hero. You steer a living swarm of creatures with the mouse; they eat what they touch and grow as they feed. Upgrades change the swarm's shape, behaviour and biology - never its weapons - so a run ends up looking like the choices you made. A full run is about twelve minutes and ends at the Hive.

Common questions

What do I actually control?

A target point. The swarm flocks toward it; you steer the mass, not an individual.

What does casting do?

Hold click or Space and the swarm surges outward in its current formation, then regroups.

How long is a run?

Around twelve minutes, ending in the Hive boss fight.

Do upgrades give me weapons?

No. They change spacing, hunger, speed and biology, so the swarm itself becomes the weapon.
