Introducing Funguys Swarm! [/h2]
Funguys Swarm is a
cartoony survivor bullet hell where you become a
Funguy, wield
forest-crafted weapons, and unleash
bonkers powers against the
Fire Kingâs army!
- Fight through the swarmÂ
- Defeat enemies, level up, and acquire powerful skills.
- Survive or die trying â The horde gets stronger, so you better keep up!
- Grow stronger in the Sanctuary â Use collected resources to upgrade and prep for your next run!
Dropping this here, no pressure (but also, go check it out)!

The Team[/h2]
Weâre a small but passionate team of 10 developers based in Indonesia, led by Putu and Marioâbetter known as "4-Hand Putu" and "Fast Fingers Mar!" Longtime Dota 2 rivals turned co-op champs, theyâve clicked their way through countless battlesâand now theyâre leading the charge on Funguys Swarm!Â

What about Coral Island?[/h2]
The
Funguys Swarm team is completely separate from the
Coral Island team, so no need to worry,
Coral Island farmers! Your updates and hotfixes are still comingâI have nothing to do with that! lol
