Swarm: Containment Protocol

Swarm: Containment Protocol is a fast-paced top-down arcade shooter where a containment drone must stop an outbreak of infected insects before the swarm grows out of control.

Infected bugs act as carriers that lay eggs throughout the arena. If the eggs are not destroyed in time, they hatch into new carriers and rapidly multiply the swarm. Your task is to eliminate both the bugs and their eggs while keeping the outbreak under control before the arena becomes overwhelmed.

As levels progress, new insect types appear, each introducing different movement patterns and pressure on the player. Quick reactions and constant movement are required to contain the infestation.
