Update 2



Hey all,

a new update has just gone live to improve the balance and feel of Swarmlake:

  • Added death sound effect variation
  • Added explosion sound effect ducking
  • Removed enemy split behavior
  • Increased reflecter enemy explosion radius by 10%
  • Increased enemy turn speed by 50%
  • Increased enemy spawn amount by 100%
  • Increased burst jump radius by 33%
  • Decreased burst jump max height by 25%
  • Decreased shard despawn time by 40%

Aggressive playstyles should now be more encouraged, dying less frustrating and the gun feel more powerful especially due to removing the enemy split behavior.

Thank you for your continued feedback
Dominique

Translation + Update 1



Hi everyone,

I am very humbled about your positive reception of Swarmlake and would really like to thank you for your support and feedback. Thanks to discussions, videos and emails by the community I already made changes this first week to improve the experience which you can find listed at the bottom.

Translation


Since there are a lot of players from non-English speaking countries it would be awesome if those native speakers could help translate the store page to make sure that your country is well represented and future players know what they are getting into before trying Swarmlake.

If you would be so kind to help translate those 7 sentences please go to the following spreadsheet and simply add the missing or fix the existing translations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16DnSmU8VYAGx40qS1fDtI_70Rc_v8pUlqFt21XEGuQA/edit?usp=sharing
