DEEPSWARM is a free-to-play idle mining game in pixel art for the browser and as a desktop app for Windows, Linux and macOS. You command a swarm of mining drones that digs through the crust of alien planets, extracts ore and finally cracks the planet core. The swarm keeps working whether you watch or not: ore grows in the background, and every session moves you forward.
Six drones become a swarm of a thousand. You pick the carrier – kinetic, laser or explosive – and fit it with acid, sonic and nanite payloads. Skill trees for carrier, payload, chain and convergence interlock. Once the solar system is mined out you trigger a supernova, take the light with you and start the next cycle stronger.
Features
Idle and active: the swarm digs in the background; during a run you steer it with the magnet field and detonate charges by hand.
Eight worlds with their own rock, gas pockets, cave-ins, anomalies and meteor swarms.
Three carriers and three payloads with their own skill trees, plus chain and convergence.
Supernova as prestige: nova ranks, skins and automation for the following cycles.
Leaderboards, squads, Discord integration and records for hits, depth and damage.
Browser or desktop app: one account, one save on every device.
Status: closed beta with limited seats. Free to play, no ads.
