Our first boss fight is live!

We've been hard at work on Weather the Swarm, and first of all, thank you for taking part in our very first playtest release. While this is the main game page. If you didn’t know, we’re a brand new studio with a small team, so building an ambitious project like this takes time — and your support truly means a lot.

The Boss Fight Is Here

Our latest update is live, and it’s a big one.

You can now face a boss at the end of the first three levels — and trust us, it won’t be easy. Even we can only beat it sometimes, and only after a lot of effort.

This update also includes:

• Quality of Life improvements (you can now see the power-ups you’ve collected in the pause menu)

• A brand-new tutorial, perfect if you’re new to the game or unsure about the core mechanics

• General balancing tweaks and bug fixes, based directly on your feedback (thank you!)

💬 Join our Discord to join the play testing and let us know what you think

Your feedback helps shape the game, so come say hi, share your thoughts, and let us know how the boss fight went.

See you in the swarm!
