About Swarm Runner

Swarm Runner is a free 3D runner for the browser where you do not control one hero but a whole crowd. You start with two little green blobs on a long cream track, and a counter above them shows how many are in your swarm.

Blue glass number gates that add or multiply stand across the track in pairs. One might say +8, the other x3, and you steer the swarm left or right to choose. Pick well and the crowd swells fast: our first run on level one went from two blobs to forty before the finish.

Not everything on the road helps. Rows of spikes thin out any blobs that run into them, and groups of red blobs wait further down the track to clash with yours, so a bigger swarm gives you more room for mistakes.

Run into a bigger group of red blobs, or lose too many to spikes, and the level ends with a Crowd Popped! card that tells you your blobs were wiped out. Try Again puts you straight back at the start of the track, where the hint Drag to steer your blobs appears over the road.

Two upgrade buttons sit on that start screen. Start Blobs makes your swarm bigger before the first gate, and Income raises the coins you earn from each run. Both start at level 1 on a new game.

At the end of each level the swarm climbs a stair of bonus steps marked x1.2, x1.4 and higher, and the further it gets, the bigger the coin reward. A progress bar at the top shows how close you are to the flag.

On a computer, hold the mouse button and drag left or right to steer; on a phone, slide a finger left or right across the screen. The blobs run forward by themselves, and there is nothing to install.

Tips for Swarm Runner

  • A multiplier is usually worth more than an addition once your swarm has a few blobs.
  • Steer around spike rows rather than through their edges.
  • Keep the swarm in the middle before a gate so you can still reach either side.
  • Spend early coins on Start Blobs: a bigger first group survives the first spikes and red blobs more easily.
