Star Swarm

How to play

1. Move: drag anywhere on the screen (your creature stays above your finger, so you can see it). On a computer: arrow keys / WASD, or drag with the mouse. Hold Shift to fly slowly.
2. Only the white dot in your middle can be hit. The rest of you is safe: squeeze through gaps!
3. You shoot by yourself. Stand under creatures to pop them.
4. Catch a bubble to change your shot: star spread, laser of hearts or homing planets. It changes every second or so: catch it when it shows the one you want. Catch the same one again for more power.
5. Ink drops fill your power bar (up to 4). Fruit is points: worth more the higher up you catch it. Fly near the top and everything flies to you.
6. Graze: let bullets brush past the dot for points. Kills and grazes in a row build your chain (x2 … x8 on all points).
7. Bomb (the BOMB button, or X / Space) clears every bullet and hits every creature. You get a fresh set of bombs each life. Just got hit? Bomb right away and you might still make it.
8. Little helper drones (her pocket spirits) fly beside you and shoot too.
9. Each sky ends with a boss, one of her biggest drawings. Shoot the dashed ring (its weak point) for extra damage. Beat a phase without being hit or bombing for a big bonus.
