STARSWARM

STARSWARM is a pure arcade fixed shooter in the grand tradition: one ship, one laser, and a swarm that arrives in perfect formation. Watch the squadrons sweep in along glowing arcs, settle into their grid, and then... they come for you.

Every wave is choreographed. Grunts pour up from the bottom of the screen, butterflies cross in ribbons, and armored commanders loop in from the flank — then the whole formation sways, breathes, and starts peeling off divers that swoop down in S-curves, shooting as they go. Commanders take two hits and bring butterfly escorts when they dive. Learn the patterns, hold the bottom of the screen, and pick your moments.

Dive kills pay double, commanders drop power-ups (spread fire, rapid cannon, a one-hit shield), and every third stage is a BONUS STAGE — a fly-through swarm worth big points, with a PERFECT bonus if you clear all 36. Extra ships at 20,000 and 50,000 points. One high score, saved forever. How deep into the swarm can you get?
