Pixelswarm: Hunt & Defense
Sort the colours, hold the line.
A calm colour-sorting puzzle with a thin layer of defence. Your drones fly out one by one, pick up a single coloured cell each and carry it home – and you decide the order.

What is Pixelswarm?
Your supply arrives in three columns and only the front tile of each is available, so you always have exactly three moves to choose from. Every group holds a colour and a number, and the numbers add up exactly: one drone for every cell in the picture, never one more. Pick the wrong colour and it blocks a module – fill every module with colours you can't reach and you're stuck.
Dark cells are breaches. Clear one and enemies come out to steal drones from your base – and drones are the currency that pays for your turrets. Upgrade turrets in tiers on a few platforms and protect exactly what the defence costs you.
Why you'll like Pixelswarm

No ads, no coin packs, no season pass, no energy timers. All 70 levels are included.
Three moves, one plan
Only the front tile of each column is playable – simple to read, surprisingly deep to master.
A thin layer of defence
Breaches release thieves; upgradeable turrets on a few platforms keep your drones safe.
70 hand-built levels
Single fields, corridors between four courtyards, wedges, rings and a fortress with a turret in its courtyard.
Take your time
Watching the drones work is half the appeal – they take their time, and so can you.
