Enemies have many different abilities: lasers, rockets, mines, fast moving, shields, drone disabling weapons, repair beams and many more.

Counter their tactics: every encounter has a unique combination of enemies and their abilities. Find out how they work to win!

Get upgrades to your swarm and mothership. Broaden your toolbox of defensive and offensive abilities.

Drone Control


Select the drone behavior: attack, defend, physical or energy. Then draw paths and drones will execute the order.



Put drones in attack mode and attack enemies where they are most vulnerable. Evade their defenses, go around their shields.



Put the drones in defence mode and they'll form walls that shield you from enemy lasers and rocket blasts.



Put the drones in physical mode and you can cannonball into them, fling asteroids into enemies, bang enemies against each other, many tactical combinations are possible.



If you fail, analyze what went wrong and try a different tactic. Master and combine several drone abilities to counter constantly evolving attack waves.

Defend your mothership, win the attack waves, upgrade the swarm and your mothership, get to the next system alive!

One of those games I wish I had refunded in time. In the end it is a badly implemented "arena" RTS with controls that seem to have been developed solely for mobile / tablet devices. This is further fostered by the fact
