The Swarm is All by Jyrkface
The Swarm is All - lead your insects to the victory!
Assemble an army by gathering food and defeating other bugs, try to survive as the levels become deadlier and your foes become fiercer.
CONTROLS
Hold Left Click to charge your assault, aim and release!
While click is held your swarm will increase its ranging area and gravitate toward the mouse.
WARNING
The Flash port was made mostly for people who couldn't play the PC version. It is missing some graphical touches, and includes a copious amount of platform-exclusive glitches :P

But worth the wait, amazing graphics!
The swarming was really neat too, unfortunately the game crashed after a while without much information about what was wrong. Just the standard Windows thing about it having stopped working.
The gameplay is really interesting though, but I think picking up all bug pieces should be optional and that after killing the last bug it should just give 2-3 seconds until level stops.
I'll keep it in mind for play more later ;)
Sadly, I couldn't finish the second level in the "Flash"-version... A single yellow piece was left, so I run out of time. But you mentioned some gliches in this version, so I assume it would work in the windows build. ;-)
Good job!
I found the flashing circle with the swarm in front of it to be a bit much for my eyes, and I'm not usually affected by blinking lights in games.
I'd make it a bit more fast-paced and harder.
