Swarmybots is an in-development multiplier online action game where you start as a bug, and through eating and upgrades gradually become more machine.

Heavily inspired by agar.io, Spore, Robokill, Infantry, and Shattered Galaxy. Swarmybots is a persistent faction-vs-faction PVP/PVE territorial dispute wargame. Gameplay is fast, death is painless, and play sessions can be as long or short as you like.

Swarmybots is developed by father/son team Kevin and Lucas Mershon

Desktop: WASD + {space, J, or left click} to attack. Arrow-keys or OKL and ';' for action buttons. Numeric 1-4 keys for emojis
