Description
Challenging single-player strategy game about insectoid alien monsters trying to murder each other.
Each of your minions has its own AI, controlling its behavior on the pseudo-3D battlefield. Mutate your eggs, spawn your swarm, spit some goop, and watch the chaos of battle!
Each of the 21 levels unlocks something new to play with, and if you complete them all, you can test yourself with a few "challenge levels".
I've been creating this game over the last few years, and decided to make all of the gameplay content available in the free web version. The Steam version just has a few extra features (like fullscreen mode) if you want to support the dev (me!).
How to Play
The controls get enabled during the first few levels.
SHORTCUTS:
[1/2/3/4/5] to create minions (or click)
HOLD [1/2/3/4/5] to mutate that build slot into something else (or click and drag up)
[A][D] to scroll the map (or click and drag the ground) (unlocked during level 1)
[Q][E] to aim special attacks, and click to shoot ([Q] is unlocked in level 4 and [E] in level 5)
HOLD [SPACEBAR] to speed up the game or progress dialogue
HOLD [S] to skip intro dialogue
Click the gear icon in the top right to pause, restart, exit, or look at current level details.
Developer Updates
1.1.00 Big update!
> Swarm Queen now contains an โevolutionโ upgrades tree, with upgrades that you can unlock using the stars that you get from completing levels!
> The โchallenge levelsโ menu has been redesigned.
BALANCE CHANGES:
> Neurotoxin deals +2 damage, but it wonโt make ground minions run away for nearly as long.
> Skitterbug cost reverted back to 30 from 33.
> Smartbug Launchers and Siege Caterpillars have slightly shorter range.
> The enemy should be slightly better at dealing with โsmartbugโ-shooting minions
> Level 5: Enemy no longer has access to Neurotoxin.
> Level 6: Enemy no longer has access to Spewers.
> Level 7: Enemy no longer has access to Skitterbugs.
> Level 8: Enemy no longer has access to Bio-Nuke.
BUG FIXES:
> The extra nectar granted in certain Challenge Levels will no longer carry over into regular levels.
> The extra nectar gathered by enemy harvesters in hard mode will no longer apply to challenge levels.
> Goop Slug and the Nuke organ will now properly โpurple-outโ when you canโt afford to mutate eggs into them.
> Changed โless minionsโ to โfewer minionsโ because thatโs how to language the words more good like.

nice game, just a few thoughts. need a skip all dialog using mouse, instead of holding S. do not need tutorial on first mission's hard difficulty.

I absolutely love the game, but purchasable upgrades or exp from replaying levels would add a lot of replayability.
