Introducing Funguys Swarm!
Funguys Swarm is a cartoony survivor bullet hell where you become a Funguy, wield forest-crafted weapons, and unleash bonkers powers against the Fire King’s army!
- Fight through the swarm
- Defeat enemies, level up, and acquire powerful skills.
- Survive or die trying – The horde gets stronger, so you better keep up!
- Grow stronger in the Sanctuary – Use collected resources to upgrade and prep for your next run!
Dropping this here, no pressure (but also, go check it out)!

The Team
We’re a small but passionate team of 10 developers based in Indonesia, led by Putu and Mario—better known as "4-Hand Putu" and "Fast Fingers Mar!" Longtime Dota 2 rivals turned co-op champs, they’ve clicked their way through countless battles—and now they’re leading the charge on Funguys Swarm!
What about Coral Island?
The Funguys Swarm team is completely separate from the Coral Island team, so no need to worry, Coral Island farmers! Your updates and hotfixes are still coming—I have nothing to do with that! lol
Free Wallpaper & New Discord Sticker
We’re sharing our first wallpaper for Funguys Swarm, available for both desktops and phones! The 4k version is available on our Discord server.
