Rainbow Friends Swarm is a shooting game where your mission is to shoot all incoming rainbow friends using different weapons, try to survive each level in order to unlock new guns.
How to play Rainbow Friends Swarm
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. The full control mapping is in the table below and takes a moment to skim. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
