Neon Swarm

NEON SWARM

A fast arena survival game. The swarm never stops, but you get stronger every minute.

You're a tiny glowing pilot in a dark neon arena. Enemies pour in from every edge, and you fire automatically at the nearest one. Your job is to move, dodge, grab the cyan gems they drop, and decide how to build yourself into something the swarm can't handle.

Every level-up offers three upgrade cards, and no two runs end up the same.

How it plays

- Move, dash, survive. Steer with WASD or the arrow keys. Your weapon aims and fires itself. Hit SPACE to dash through the crowd with a brief moment of invulnerability.

- Build your own weapon. Pick from 14 upgrades that stack up as you take them:

Rapid Fire, Heavy Rounds, Multishot, Piercing, Swift Boots, Magnet, Orbit Blades, Vitality, Nova, Chain Lightning, Explosive Rounds, Critical hits, Regeneration and Quick Dash.

Mix them into a spinning blade storm, a lightning machine or a piercing laser line.

- The swarm evolves. Chasers and fast runners give way to armoured tanks, shooters that keep their distance, and splitters that burst into more enemies when they die.

- Don't get surrounded. Every so often a ring of enemies closes in from all sides. That's what the dash is for.

- Boss fights. A boss arrives every 75 seconds. Defeat it for a free level-up, a heart to heal, and a shower of gems.

- Pickups. Hearts heal you, and a gem vacuum sucks in every gem on screen.
