Swarm.io
Lead a buzzing bee swarm across a summer meadow. Collect pollen, bank it at hives to grow, sting smaller swarms, dodge hornets and finish with the most honey.
Swarm.io is a bee swarm io game set in a bright summer meadow full of flowers. You guide a queen and her buzzing cloud of bees from flower to flower, soaking up pollen until your pockets are full. Pollen only turns into honey when you fly it back to one of the wooden hives, and every deposit hatches new bees, so your swarm grows with every trip. A meadow full of named AI swarms is racing you for the same flowers.
The twist is risk. Pollen you are carrying is not safe: when swarms collide, the stronger one stings the weaker, bees drop away and the loser spills pollen on the grass for anyone to grab. Big orange hornets patrol the field and hunt swarms loaded with pollen, but a large enough swarm can sting a hornet until it flees, earning a bonus. Royal jelly adds bees instantly and golden nectar fills your pockets. Buzz dash gets you out of trouble or onto a fleeing rival.
Rounds last three minutes, and winning one promotes you to a higher league with more swarms, more hornets and sharper bots. Coins buy Big Pockets, Wings and Stingers upgrades. It suits players who like a calm gathering loop with sudden tense moments. Tip: bank often early on, because a small full swarm is exactly what hornets love.
How to play
Fly your swarm over flowers to collect pollen, then fly into a hive to bank it as honey. Each deposit adds new bees, and more bees carry more pollen and sting harder. When swarms overlap, the stronger swarm stings the weaker one, which loses bees and spills its carried pollen. Lose all your bees and a new queen starts over with a small swarm, keeping your banked honey. Avoid hornets unless your swarm is big enough to chase them off. The swarm with the most honey when the timer ends wins.
