About the Game



Swarmlake is an ultra-intense first-person shooter ballet about fighting a record-breaking swarm.

  • Powerful: Cut through the swarm with an overpowered weapon and its chargeable beam
  • Vertical: Launch yourself skyward by jumping off enemies and using your own beam as a springboard
  • Intense: Countless enemies on screen at once, with a high skill ceiling to master
  • Smooth: Deterministic gameplay refined over years of feedback
  • Fun: Fast-paced, addictive highscore-chase with online leaderboard and replays
