Galactic Swarm is a modern take on the classic invaders shooter, played in full 3D.

**Pick your vehicle**

- **Tesla Tank**: heavy armour with a lightning coil. Tesla Bolt, Arc Chain (lightning that jumps between aliens), Shell, Coil Beam.

- **Star Fighter**: fast and agile. Twin Pulse, Spread, Lance, and Homing missiles.

- **Hovercraft**: drifts with momentum. Flak, Boomerang, Sonic Wave, Cluster bomb.

 

**Five worlds, five moods**

Cratered **Lunar Base**, wind-carved **Dune Sea**, glassy **Frozen Wastes**, overgrown **Emerald Jungle**, and the molten **Magma Fields**. Each has its own terrain, lighting, weather and music theme.

 

**Six kinds of alien**

Rocket pods, saucers, crabs, squids, wasps and armoured beetles that take two hits. Every wave rotates which five designs lead the charge.

 

**Play your way**

- Shoot aliens to make them drop weapon crates. Catch one to unlock that weapon, but they reset every two waves.

- Take cover behind rocky barriers that crumble as alien fire gouges craters out of them.

- Pause, quit to the menu, and chase the leaderboard.

- Procedural music that changes with each world, plus sound effects. Music and effects can be switched off separately.

- Plays on desktop with the keyboard and on phones and tablets by touch, in portrait or landscape.
