Rating: ★★★☆☆

Frantic and addicting, dancing through the swarm is a good way to kill the afternoon.

How Swarmlake manages to be so simple yet so addicting is something I will never understand. A rather easy game to get into but incredibly hard to master. Thank god we only need 10k points for all the achievements.

9/10

It's like geometry wars meets devil daggers. Plus, you can recoup health. I love it.

Very nice fast FPS, has 0 story, only a massive amount of "enemies", you'll last seconds instead of minutes. 😉

MY EYES....

There's a certain intrinsic beauty in the chaotic - a method to all forms of madness

One might not be able to intellectualize exactly what they're doing at a given moment in SWARMLAKE, an endless score-chaser first-person-shooter/platformer hybrid that tasks one with jumping deftly in and around massive swarms of enemies - some clusters of spheres that follow you around, others incomprehensibly tall walls of pointed death - collecting satisfyingly-explosive orbs to stave off the horde for as long as one can, but something about the gameplay just feels right in some instinctual way. The deeper one falls into the swarm, the more one naturally steps in tune with its intricate, captivating dance, learning little techniques and bits of gameplay knowledge like making right-angle turns to maximize enemy drop pickups or facing your direction of motion to clear out enemies in your path that offer the game a sense of skill progression and depth far beyond what its minimalist presentation suggests. Each run gives one the sense that they understand the game more, that they can wrangle with the chaos a little bit better (provided the game doesn't randomly decide to kill them as it feels sometimes, which is my one gripe) than the last time, which makes for a perfect, maddeningly-addictive way to waste an afternoon - or much, much longer if you feel like honing your skills to take on this game's leaderboards.

This is a perfect game.

It has one goal and it accomplishes that well. Absolutely worth the price of a dollar an hour to completion and worth replaying.

Turn your stress off and press forward with a stellar soundtrack to boot.

✅✅You run away from geometric shapes, shoot them with a rifle or shotgun and collect crystals that fall out of them. Your goal is to get as many as possible (the highest achievement on Steam is 10,000 crystals

✅Simple gameplay
✅Nice graphics
✅Nice soundtrack
✅Cheap gamre
✅You have to try a little to get 10,000 crystals
✅Simple controls
✅Dynamic gameplay

❌ You can't play it for long because it might get boring.
❌ Very repetitive, there are no levels

it's good

jogo divertido, gráficos simples e gameplay frenética, mas nesse preço, não acho que vale a pena

I played Refunct on PS4 and it was really good so I bought this too and this is great as well. I'm looking forward to seeing what Dominique Grieshofer puts out next

Great game. Didn't like it at first. The game wasn't clear on what to do.
I'm glad I came back to it. I ended up having a great time.

A few tips for the players that are like me and didn't understand the game starting out.
Max out the FOV and sensitivity settings. This will give you the best picture of the arena and help your reaction time.
The key to playing the game and getting a high score is to keep pursuing the bombs. (The purple blocks.) These are what push back the swarm.
The bullet hose the player is working with wont hold back the swarm, it only clears the path to the bombs.
You have maneuverability on your side. (You can jump all the way to the ceiling of the arena.) Just keep getting the bombs and dodging through the swarms.
Keep the bullet hose pointed in the direction that you are moving. (This allows the player to push through the swarms.)

Scratches that Hyper Demon/Devil Daggers itch. Actual crime how affordable this is it's so damn good and claustrophobic feeling with the leaderboards motivating you to reach that 10K mark. Absolutely love this title. I want to gift it to all my friends so I can be better than them at something

Swarmlake, straight-up a masterpiece, but bruh, it’s dizzy as hell to play.

Tried hitting 10k, but nah, it’s way too hard for me. Guess I’m just trash at games like this, lol.

Gameplay’s mad simple, shoot particles, dodge like your life depends on it, grab the pink stuff when you get hit, and grind for that high score.

Overall: 8/10. Fire game, but not for the faint of reflexes.

Very cool little thing that's fun to play in short bursts. Defs worth the 75 cents- couple bucks it costs

my favorite swimming simulator

i like when u boom the swarm guys and stuff

i got this on sale for £0.49
very much worth the money its a really cool game and i like trying to beat my personal best.
the only tiny issue i have is it doesn't count highscores that were achieved offline
8/10

When I told my parents I finally did something with my life and ran a 10k, I thought that would surely erase a decade of disappointment at their offspring. They somehow got incredibly angry when I showed them my score on Swarmlake

10/10 best money spent

good particles and effects
but kinda boring and monotonous

I got it way before it costed anything and even when it was in beta, and even then it was good. Would recommend :)

finally came back after 2 years to get the last 2 achievements... damn that was fun!

MANY BULLET

so satisfying

This game is more chaotic than a 3kd eomm mlg tournament hosted on a 9v9 shipment game mwIII
