slow-down to crawl to crash with swarm

[treelaunka]

So... swarm's really fun, but... once the numbers get close to 60 or so it can totally crash.

Might... I suggest swarm critters move faster, but also join with other swarm pieces after 10 are made. When one fuses, it gets the hit points added onto their own.

That would allow for less on screen.

Swarm's fun, and the amount of critters is what makes it fun, but... I don't know of a fix that's not making the game be able to run all that a player would make, or consolidate the critters if they reach an amount.

Yep.... same issue here, needs to be a limit to them or just fix the performance issue. Game literally turns to 1 fps for me.

Yeah.. I hope improving performance is an option, not sure what the game was build on (unity, fusion, or just code).

I don't want swarm to be nerfed to the point where swarm is just... not the swarm. Another fix to swarm would be once you hit the cap on swarmed pets, each new swarm spawned adds +1hp to all existing swarm (or just +1 hp to swarm with lowest hp). Swarm pets would need at least 2hp by default for that to work.

Worst case, +1 hp to a random swarm critter. If that becomes the route, hopefully there is a visual tell. I'm glad there's been more and more visual information being added to the game.

yea but what about the item that makes them die in 1 hit? permanent I am also just got this problem and oh it gets the fps low and its only on loop wave 39 not even 50

Just pushed a small update that caps critters at 100. Not a solution I like but it will do for now.

Sounds good.
