Description
Planned Updates:

- More units (next: point defense, buff stations, infestor missiles...)
- troop carriers!
- Planet infestation
- Yet more skirmish settings
Space Pixel Swarm is a free and offline strategy game that puts you at a decisive disadvantage from the start. In this pixel-styled galaxy, you'll face an overwhelming enemy force that expands relentlessly across the stars. Your success depends not just on your tactical prowess, but on making difficult strategic choices: will you race to match the enemy's expansion, or concentrate your forces to defend key strongholds?
Strategic Depth Through Simplicity
Every fallen planet - whether lost to the enemy or sacrificed by your own hand - strengthens your remaining forces. This core mechanic creates an intriguing balance: do you intentionally abandon worlds to power up your fleet, or fight to protect every planet under your control? The choice, and its consequences, are yours to manage.
Features That Matter
- Streamlined RTS controls that keep the focus on strategy
- Unique desperation mechanic: use lost planets to fuel your military power
- 9 carefully designed levels with progressive difficulty
- Adaptable swarm AI that you can configure to your preference
- Diverse unit types: from agile fighters to powerful capital ships, shield generators, and missile installations
- Multiple enemy variations to keep you on your toes
- Skirmish mode featuring random maps and customizable settings for endless replayability
Master Your Strategy
Each level presents a new challenge as you face increasingly sophisticated swarm behaviors. You'll need to adapt your tactics, experiment with different unit combinations, and perfect your balance between expansion and fortification to succeed.
A Complete Strategic Experience
Whether you're defending your home systems or making calculated sacrifices for the greater good, Space Pixel Swarm offers a thought-provoking strategic challenge without unnecessary complexity. Every decision shapes the outcome of your campaign.

What’s New
Version 0.172.3
Biggest update in a while!
0.172.0
- New stations:
Missile bays and shields.
- Light and heavy missiles, in addition to nukes can be built in missile bays and launched at enemy fortifications
- Nukes can immediately devastate planets (they also have friendly fire)
- Shields will engulf and protect planets they are built around and units in orbit. 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. You can now target missiles, your fleet or all when sending units to planets.
Fixes:
- Fixed the ability to accidentally select planets through the UI
- Fixed some other under the hood issues.
- Tweaked the new skirmish generation options.
0.172.1
- Typo fix
- Camera fix
- Increased zoom out for some levels
- Fixed bug that could cause units to not unlock
0.172.2
- Thanks to the players utilizing the feedback button, was able to fix a bug that prevented final unit (nuke) from unlocking if players took certain actions.
Ratings and Reviews
Great mini game!
This game is awesome, really fun when the swarms get overwhelming. Would love to see more than 9 levels in the campaign, maybe a bit more story etc etc. Also camera controls are a little clunky, but it doesn’t ruin the gaming experience.
Edit: would pay £1.99 - £2.99 for this game. Doesn’t seem fair to the developer to be free with no adds!
