Swarm Survivor

Controls:

• Move: WASD keys
• Aim: Mouse position

Mechanics:

You control a character who can move around and shoot.

Enemies will spawn periodically, and go after you. If they touch you, you lose 1 HP. You start with 3 HP, if you lose them all you lose the game.

The enemies collide with each other and the environment. Their AI combines pathfinding, seek, obstacle avoidance, and separation behaviours.

Shooting an enemy kills it, and it's added to your score. There's also a timer that keeps track of how long the game has lasted. The goal is to last as long as possible.

I built it using Unity’s Data Oriented Technology Stack (Entities 0.51.0). All enemy systems are burst-compiled and executed in parallel.

I wrote a slightly technical blog post with an overview of how I implemented it: http://www.emmaprats.com/p/swarm-survivor-a-top-down-shooter-built-with-unity-do...
