Endure The Swarm
A downloadable game for Windows
The world has ended. The Swarm is coming.
When it comes you can't run, you can't fight. All you can do is hide.
Plan carefully, and take your time. The Swarm only moves when you do. But beware, it will destroy every door, window, and fence standing it its way to get to you. Topple furniture, flip tables, and drag boxes to survive in over 50 devious levels in this new turn based twist on the block pushing genre.
A fully voiced narration will put you in the shoes of the last survivor, as story sequences guide you through a linear narrative showing you the devastation from the ground level. Attempt to survive, but be warned the Swarm isn't the only thing standing in your way.
Featuring:
- Windowed Mode
- Volume sliders for Music, Voice, and Sound Effects
- Undo and Reset
- Full subtitles
The Itch version is DRM free!

hi... i really wanted to play this game but i also have this issue, when it starts the tutorial, the controls are bugged and the charachter is like moving back and forth and nothing happens and I have to close the game... i m on windows11.. dont know if you have any suggestion? The game idea is really cool
Are you able to trigger cutscene at the window, or is that not happening? If you can get to the window you should be able to move up and around to push the TV stand down from above.
If the game isn't letting you do that, please let me know.
Does this game have a level editor in the works? That'd be awesome and is the absolute best way to sustain long-term interest in a title such as this!
Not currently in development, but TBH it wouldn't take too much effort (I already have a janky editor I used to make the levels). That said, I had more or less dropped development until the bundle, so it's in a weird state.
I've completed the game (last level's name should be "Another Dollar Wasted", but both the title screen and end credits mention the game being a Demo.
I checked the version installed, and it's 1.5, the version that doesn't include "Demo" in the name. Was the demo version exported accidentally, or were the demo components not removed in the final version?
... Welp. That's embarrassing. Thank you for letting me know. The normal version just has a "The end" followed by the credits (which are also accessible from the settings menu) so you didn't miss any content.
Edit: Apparently the Steam version was even more borked. Thanks for pointing it out, I probably would have missed it otherwise.
Attempted to play this game, none of the controls seem to work, aside from WASD movement and the Esc menu.
I'm playing on Linux via WINE.
If you're talking about the first level, movement is all you need, you don't get access to the full controls until you get past the tutorial in level 2. If you're having trouble past that, please let me know.
If you need a hint for the first level, you can push the TV stand down from above. I need to make that more clear, sorry.
