About Swarm: Light the Dark

Your finger is a lantern. Hundreds of tiny glowing critters follow its light.
And every one of them is your health, your score, and your ammunition.

SWARM is a one-thumb arcade game about guiding a living swarm through a dark,
beautiful, dangerous world. Draw the light and they follow. But saws, crumbling
walls, black holes, and worse are waiting — and your swarm is only as strong as
the critters you keep alive.

HERD WITH LIGHT
Drag anywhere to steer your swarm. Squeeze hundreds of critters through
impossibly narrow gaps as hazards close in around them.

FIRE YOUR OWN TO SURVIVE
Cornered? Double-tap to launch critters as homing projectiles that shatter
obstacles. But every shot spends part of your swarm. Break through — or thread
the needle and save them. The choice is yours, every time.

GROW, LOSE, AND COME BACK
Collect motes to grow your swarm. Grab rainbow motes to phase through danger.
Watch your count crash in a single brutal second — then claw your way back.

FACE THE DARK
- 12 handcrafted levels across a world of light and shadow
- Three unique bosses, from the silk-spinning Weaver to the all-consuming Maw
- Black holes, whirlpools, crumbling walls, and dozens more creative hazards
- Earn glow dust, unlock critter types, and light up the dark

Easy to learn. Impossible to put down. How many will you save?

What’s new

Version 0.4.0 · Updated August 5, 2026

SWARM 0.4.0 — the world explains itself ✦ Every hazard now tells you what it is the first time you meet it. Learn what kills, what only pushes you around, and which glowing pickup is not food at all. The opening walkthrough now covers steering, firing and feeding, and both boosts explain themselves the first time you spend one. Fixes: teaching text ran off the screen edges; a haze washed over every level.
