While I don't play Swarmlake on a regular basis, whenever I fire it up I end up putting in a good hour or so. It's kind of like a more arcade-y Devil Daggers, in that the gun fires automatically at high speed unless you click the mouse, at which point you let off a shotgun burst. The shotgun can send you flying into the sky if you aim it at the ground, and shotgunning down at enemies keeps you bouncing along. There are two enemy types to shoot, which doesn't sound like much until there are thousands of them in a massive blob. Collecting the pink things lets loose a burst of energy killing everything in its radius no matter how densely packed they are. Finally, the green crystals are points. Very simple but it feels great to play. It's also only $1.
