Press release

Weaponize the arena: “Swarm Me” now available on Steam

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


RIGA, Latvia – March 11, 2026 – Independent developer KBGS today announced the release of Swarm Me, a minimalist survival game where players must outmaneuver an ever-growing swarm of enemies using traps and environmental hazards instead of relying on weapons alone. The game is now available on Steam with a 10% launch discount.


Swarm Me is a fast-paced arena survival experience inspired by classic horde gameplay. Players control a small drone chased by hundreds of enemies. Instead of relying on firepower alone, survival depends on movement, triggering traps, and carefully managing a shared energy pool that powers both health and weapons.


Each run escalates as the swarm grows larger and faster, turning the arena into a chaotic puzzle of timing and spatial awareness. The goal is simple: stay alive, trigger traps efficiently, and survive as long as possible.

• Survive against swarms of up to 250 enemies simultaneously
• Weapon modes on or off - choose between pure trap survival or combat-assisted gameplay
• Trap-based arena gameplay - defeat enemies using environmental hazards
