D+PAD – Swarm Reviewed
The only thing better than overwhelming cuteness is the unrelenting lust for gore. Swarm is a fitting example of the feeling one might experience upon seeing a new born puppy slowly bumble its way around a carpet floor – on the one hand you want to pet it silly, cuddle it endlessly and bathe it in never-ending love; but even then the mean-spirited urge to simply kick it in its flabby little face is just as strong. Hothead Games’ latest downloadable title Swarm certainly balances this somewhat sadistic notion with great aplomb, all whilst wrapped-up in a delightfully flawed puzzle-platformer.
