Space Pixel Swarm is an offline, single‑player space RTS where you start outnumbered and win by making hard strategic tradeoffs. Sacrifice planets to power up your fleet, or hold the line and fortify. Features - Offline single‑player RTS - Short sessions + procedural skirmish mode - Configurable swarm AI behaviors - Unique “desperation” mechanic: lost planets fuel your remaining forces - 29 carefully designed campaign levels with progressive difficulty - Diverse units: fighters, capital ships, shield generators, and missile installations - Multiple enemy variations that force different tactics Master Your Strategy Every level pushes you to refine your approach: expand fast to contest the enemy’s growth, or consolidate and build an unbreakable defense. Experiment with unit mixes, timing, and positioning to survive increasingly intense swarm pressure. Skirmish Mode for Endless Replayability Jump into randomized maps with customizable settings for quick matches and long-form challenges. Tune the swarm to your preference and test new strategies whenever you want. Share Your Thoughts Found a bug or have an idea?

As a result, I've replaced the forced ads with reward/"boosting" ads. - After losing a level, you *may*, opt to watch ads to buff your economy, units, or other resources in the next fight. - The supporting remove ads IAP still removes all ads from the game, including those associated with buff activations. 0.173.2: - Stabilization fixes Previous versions: - Fixed new units not being allowed on previous levels. - Fixed AI difficulty being inconsistently set when harder campaign difficulties are set. - Fixed drones not working if launched while zoomed out. - Made mitigations to missiles not always launching. - Nerfed trading stations (additive to economy rather than multiplicative) New units and a new level type!

The drone carrier creates and manages it's own fleet of interceptors, capable of tracking down and swarming nearby enemies. -- Given enough time to fully stock up, Drone carriers can overwhelm unfortified planets by themselves. Level - Barycenters: The 10th level! This is the first level that will be introducing orbiting planets. Given how much difficulty this can add on due to how it influences strategies, more levels with this mechanic will be added after some initial feedback is given. 0.173.3 10/18/2025 0.173.2: - Stabilization fixes Previous versions: - Fixed new units not being allowed on previous levels. - Fixed AI difficulty being inconsistently set when harder campaign difficulties are set. - Fixed drones not working if launched while zoomed out. - Made mitigations to missiles not always launching. - Nerfed trading stations (additive to economy rather than multiplicative) New units and a new level type!

Multiple can be stacked for improved strength *NOTE*: These units will unlock for skirmish mode as you progress throughout the game, but you can take them back into earlier levels. - New difficulty options. Many people had said this had become too easy for them. So now the main game and skirmish can be played with Standard, Challenging and Brutal difficulties - New AI Types: The skirmish mode now supports you selecting from various "AI personalities". Do you want to face against an opponent that focuses on defense but expands slowly? Maybe one that expands as fast as possible without regards to defense. Or even the "Swarm" personality which has access to "advanced mothership" units. I'll let you explore that last one yourself. Smaller updates: - Feedback system. You can now directly submit feature requests, suggestions, bugs or anything else to me directly from the game! - Unit unlocking progression. Units now need to have the level they first are available in to be completed before you can take them back to Skirmish! - These units are also allowed to be used in earlier levels to help with higher difficulties - New unit type selection options.
