Escape The Swarm

Humanity were broken, scattered, and overwhelemed by an unknown threat known as the Swarm. You somehow arrived at an abandoned star base with ship damaged by the Swarm. Repairs were needed on your ship to escape and you could hold the Swarm with your drone. You could set rudimentary defenses, but you know that the Swarm will overwhelm you.

Control your drone in order to eliminate ships of the Swarm. Scraps will be gained by destroying enemies and used to repair, setup turret, or escape and win the game. Protect your base. Escape before the swarm overwhelms you!

Never Gonna Gonna Give You Up

"This is what I only have before the Swarm screws me up. Need to hold them out until I gathered enough to repair my ship and run away." - Personal Log 420

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around, and desert you. (Player needs to protect the base instead of the drone they control)

Player uses scraps to either repair, build turret, upgrade turret, or escape. The amount of scraps gathered were limited as the Swarm will overwhelm the player.
