About game
Fans of high-octane action will find their new obsession in Ricochet Swarm as they dodge relentless enemy fire while painting the screen with bouncing projectiles. You control a central core that automatically fires energy balls, turning every wall into a tactical asset for clearing waves. Mastering the geometry of each shot is essential because your bullets multiply and gain power when hitting bumpers or boost lines. You will face a massive boss at the end of every sector that requires precise movement to survive their telegraphed attacks. Choosing the right mutations between rounds allows you to build powerful synergies that turn your simple shots into a screen-filling storm. This roguelike experience keeps you coming back because each run introduces random elements and persistent upgrades for your arsenal. Ricochet Swarm challenges your reflexes and strategic thinking in equal measure as you climb through increasing threat levels.
