Cosmic Swarm

Cosmic Swarm is an action-oriented arcade shooter for the Atari 2600, developed and published by CommaVid in 1982.

Control an Asteroids-like spacecraft and pick off space termites one at a time. The termites place deadly blocks around the screen, restricting your movement. Striking a termite while it carries a block turns all placed blocks red, allowing you to destroy them individually until another termite is hit.

Your ship also needs to contact the fuel ship whenever it appears to remain operational.
