Cosmic Swarm is an action-shooter released by CommaVid in 1982 for the Atari 2600. You pilot a spacecraft tasked with surviving and destroying a rapidly expanding structure of alien blocks.
How to play
Your objective is to navigate around the growing swarm of blocks and clear a safe path to stay alive. The game can be played with a connected gamepad or a keyboard. For keyboard controls, use the Arrow keys to move and the Spacebar to fire. You can use F11 to select a game variation and F12 to reset.
Tips
- Keep moving constantly; getting boxed into a dead end by the expanding swarm is the easiest way to lose a ship.
- Prioritize carving out an escape route rather than trying to shoot every single block on the screen.
