About game
In the game Swarm Capture, you command a horde of creatures that maintains its structure, selects targets independently, and expands by consuming food. When a creature is defeated, it doesn't vanish but is reincarnated for the opposing side, increasing their numbers. This means that battles don't decrease the total number of creatures on the arena; instead, they reward the first to strike with the enemy's swarm.
The game features endless runs divided into zones, with each zone presenting tougher challenges: new enemy types, bosses, and enhanced creatures appear as you progress, and the order in which they appear varies each time.
Enemy swarms are controlled by a trained neural network that determines their actions, such as feeding, fighting, retreating, regrouping, or splitting. This makes the swarms adaptable and unpredictable, as they can divide the arena and attack from different directions.
Gaining experience through births and kills allows you to level up and choose three temporary upgrades. Defeated enemies drop Material, which can be used to unlock permanent upgrades in the main menu, along with additional rewards from daily and weekly tasks.
How to play
Your task is to survive for as long as possible and achieve the highest score. The swarm acts on its own; you only decide the direction. On a phone or tablet, touch the arena and a joystick will appear under your finger, controlling the swarm’s movement — the further you push it, the faster the swarm goes. Releasing your finger makes the swarm stop. With a mouse, clicking on the arena sets the swarm's target, while holding the button makes the swarm follow the cursor. The keyboard (WASD or arrow keys) controls the swarm like the joystick, moving the target point. When you release the keys, the swarm stops. A mouse click resets the target. Pressing Escape pauses the game. Using the keyboard is optional. Absorb food to heal creatures and spawn new ones. Maintain a numerical advantage — victory in a clash goes to the denser and more numerous swarm at the contact point.Game info
