Swarm
Summary:
Swarm is a top-down space shooter, similar to asteroids. You fly a ship around collecting an fuel source called EZT (Endron Zymithium Trisistaline) for the corporation you're indentured to. There is an aggressive alien species called the Clagnor which you must avoid / defeat. You can collect ammo for various weapons and mines which help you fight enemies / destroy asteroids, and shields which keep you alive when taking damage.The game is level based. The main type of level requires you to connect enough EZT. The second type is a level where you must kill a certain number of enemies. And lastly there is an uncommon bonus level where you can collect as many items as you can in a short amount of time.Items carry over between levels, but are lost when you lose a life. If you lose all lives the game is over, though you may start again from the highest level you reached. There is a high score list as well. The game contains 100 levels of increasing difficulty.
