About Swarmfall

A "survivors" game. You're a lone hero in the dark and a shadow horde comes at you from every side, growing all the time. You only move. Your wards attack by themselves, so your real weapon is where you stand. Kills drop soul-shards; collect them to level up and pick one of three boons each time, so every run builds up differently. Last as long as you can.

How to play

  • Desktop: move with WASD or the arrow keys.
  • Phone: drag and the hero follows your thumb. Works in portrait or landscape.
  • Attacks are automatic. Walk over shards to collect them, and pick a boon when you level up.

Tips

  • Never stop moving. Run in wide circles so the horde stays behind you instead of around you.
  • Loop back for your shards. They don't come to you.
  • Pick damage early. More kills means more shards means more levels.
  • Stick to two or three weapons and upgrade them, rather than one of everything.

FAQ

Is it free? Do I need an account? It's free, paid for by ads. No account: you only type a name if you want to post a score.

Does it work on a phone? Yes. Drag to move was made for touch.

How do I attack? You don't. Your wards fire on their own; you move and choose boons.
