YOU ARE THE PREY. THE ARENA IS YOUR WEAPON. Swarm Dodge is a minimalist survival game where homing enemies hunt you down — and the only way to fight back is to make them chase you somewhere they should not go. Drag your finger to move. That is the whole control scheme. Simple to learn, nearly impossible to master. THE ARENA IS ON YOUR SIDE Spinning blades, electric fields, crushing walls, bounce bumpers and bottomless pits fill the arena. None of them can touch you. Every one of them will destroy anything that follows you in. Lure the swarm through a blade and you score. Chain kills together and the multiplier climbs to 5x. Hiding in a corner will keep you alive for a while. Hunting will win. THE RULES KEEP CHANGING Every 20 seconds the game stops and offers you three cards. Some are gifts — a shield that eats one hit, a shockwave that throws the swarm off you, a slow that brings them to a crawl. Some make life harder — fog, a swarm that clumps, blades that widen their reach. You have to take one. 100 LEVELS A hundred hand-tuned levels, each with its own layout of hazards and its own enemy count. Every level rates you out of three stars: clear it, hit the kill target, do it without a second chance. Blocked by a level you cannot beat? Stars you have already earned will open the way past it. You are never stuck for good. ENDLESS No levels. No timer. No end. Waves build, hazards multiply, and the run only stops when you do. Scored in points, so the best runs actually rank. DAILY CHALLENGE One arena, the same for every player on earth, changing every day at midnight UTC. Compete on the daily leaderboard, then come back tomorrow for a new one. LEADERBOARDS Prove you are the last one standing. COLLECT AND CUSTOMISE Eleven skins, each with its own trail and its own death. The rabbit kicks up dust. The fish blows bubbles. The bee sparks yellow. Buy them with coins you earn by playing, unlock them by reaching milestone levels — or earn the last two through pure skill: a 50-kill chain, and thirty stars. FAIR BY DESIGN No subscriptions. No energy meters. Swarm Dodge is free to play with ads. One single purchase removes them forever.
