MurMur: Idle Swarm Colony

An idle swarm colony game for anyone who wants relaxing progress in short sessions. Tap anywhere and a single explorer heads there; the swarm follows, grows and flows like a river. Each season lasts one to three minutes, and you come back stronger.

TIRED OF IDLE GAMES THAT FEEL LIKE WORK?
Most incremental games bury you in timers, energy bars and tycoon menus. You tap a button, watch a number, and wait. Relaxing games, on the other hand, often have nothing to work towards. MurMur sits in between: quiet enough to rest your mind, deep enough to keep your colony growing.

ONE BECOMES RIVER
Touch anywhere on the screen and your explorer heads there. The swarm follows. Eat food pools and new units are born, one after another, until a handful of sparks becomes a colony and the colony flows like a river across the dark. Charge a five-second Stampede when you want to go faster. A season is short, so there is always time for one more.

SEASONS END. PHEROMONE STAYS.
When a season ends, food resets and your swarm rests. What you keep is pheromone, and pheromone is permanent. Spend it in the Hive on upgrades that carry into every future season. Nothing is lost. Your first season back is around ten times faster, so every reset feels like a reward instead of a restart.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Steer the swarm directly with one tap. It is idle, but never passive.
• Grow through five phases, from a lone explorer to a full Continent.
• Build the Hive your way with three branches: Flow for boost, Hunger for food, Memory for seasons and time away.
• Migrate to new biomes on the map. Each one multiplies your food and opens a new chapter.
• Keep moving while you are away. Your swarm carries on when the game is closed and shows you what it gathered when you return.
• Collect journal lines, badges and ranks as the story of your colony unfolds.
• Unlock quirk skins that change how the swarm behaves, how its trail looks and which palette it glows in.
• Follow your records: time in the river, seasons played, largest swarm per season.

FAIR BY DESIGN
No power is sold. Every upgrade is earned in play. Skins are quirks, not power. Ads are optional and only appear when you choose to double a reward. There is no account to create and your progress saves locally on your device.

MADE TO BE COMFORTABLE
Neon colors on a dark background, one typeface and a few quiet words. Turn on reduced motion, lower the swarm density, or highlight the nearest food pool. Adjust sound, haptics and number format whenever you like.

WHO IS IT FOR?
• Players who love idle and incremental games and the pleasure of watching a colony grow.
• Anyone looking for a relaxing moment on a commute, in a break or before sleep.
• People who can watch a murmuration of starlings for an hour and want to guide one themselves.
• Collectors who want every badge, every journal line and every quirk.
