Armorines - Project S.W.A.R.M.

Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M. is a top-down action shooter for Game Boy Color where players control elite Armorines soldiers battling an alien insect invasion. Choose between Pvt. Tony Lewis, who wields a slower but powerful shotgun plasma blaster, or Pvt. Myra Lane with her faster machine gun-style weapon. Navigate six futuristic levels including outposts, labs, and a mothership, using weapons like plasma rifles, flamethrowers, and lasers to defeat swarms of bugs and giant bosses. The story follows the Armorines, highly advanced armored marines, as they crash-land on Venus and fight to stop the bugs from destroying human civilization. What stands out is its intense bug-stomping action adapted from the Valiant Comics universe, with password saves for progression.
