Get on Steam"SWARMRIDERS" is a free, fast-paced "endless runner" and "twin stick shooter" mashup, described as a "machine gun swarm surfing minigame." The game features arcade-style action, where players control a mercenary gunner on a bike, with responsive controls and a heart-pumping original soundtrack. Set 400 years before the events of UBERMOSH:BLACK, players can enjoy a few minutes of elegant gameplay.

The game offers minimal replayability, with easy achievements that may appeal to completionists but fail to provide the engaging experience found in similar titles. Overall, players find it fun but lacking in long-term replay value.
“This game lacks the joy and replayability of playing any of the Ubermosh games, and the achievements are very easy to get.”
“Fun little game, easy achievements for you hunters, but not much replay value.”
