READY TO SWARM?

Trap wandering Skitters and predictable Runners first. You get one free dodge against ordinary prey, but bosses remain dangerous. Captures unlock evolutions.

FIELD GUIDE · HOW TO PLAY & ENCOUNTERS

PREDATOR HUNT: Trap prey using your body. Your first ordinary-prey collision is forgiven and early enemies are slower. Bosses need two or three captures.

BROOD TRAIL: Classic Snake. Swipe or use arrow keys / WASD, collect brood orbs, grow your swarm and avoid your tail.

MUTATIONS: Captures grant 3 energy; Brood Trail orbs grant 1. Every 5 energy, choose a mutation: white shields, blue slows, black sheds your tail, red boosts speed and points, green grows the swarm.

BOSSES: Evolution 2: Burrow Stalker burrows five tiles. Evolution 4: Hatchery Warden seals tiles. Evolution 6: Tunnel Weaver places webs. Evolution 8: Rift Guardian opens rifts. Powers charge every 10 active seconds. Boss dossiers pause the action before encounters.

DEPTHS: Backgrounds change after 4, 8, and 12 evolutions. Dashed tiles warn before blocking. Daily Test Seed repeats until midnight Central.
