Overview

The Swarm is an intense, free-to-play boss rush experience developed and published by Solsgames. This title throws players into a challenging arcade-style gauntlet where the primary objective is to defeat a series of formidable bosses. Success hinges on strategic use of your limited life points, represented by glowing fireflies, which are also your primary means of dealing damage.
