About this game
Hunt the swarm. Upgrade. Prestige. Repeat.
Boid Predator is an idle-incremental game about hunting emergent chaos. Deploy and upgrade a roster of Predators to thin ever-growing swarms of Boids, flocking creatures from the classic "bird-oid" simulation, as they scatter and evade across a field.
Play alternates between two phases. Each 60-second round, your predators hunt, harvesting resources from every kill. Between rounds, enter the shop to upgrade your predators, unlock new boid types, and pour resources into earnings, automation, and deeper systems.
Push through 4 prestige layers for permanent power and new mechanics. Uncover a small story along the way, and work toward the ending. (More on the story over on Royal Road.)
Features:
9 predator types with their individual roles
13 boid types that lead to interesting complexities
4 prestige layers that augment your play
Mid-round events and challenge rounds to keep each round fresh
A collectable card system and customizable Plumage system to focus on specific traits of a predator and build
A story that unfolds across the climb to the ending

Boids:
