Swarm Front

Terms of use

Draft for review. These terms have not been checked by a lawyer and are not legal advice. Items in [brackets] are still to be decided.

Last updated: 4 November 2026

Playing the game

These terms cover Swarm Front wherever you play it: at swarmfront.io (swarmfront.online forwards there) or in the desktop app.

You may play Swarm Front for your own enjoyment. The game, its code, art, models, sounds, music and text belong to [the developer, Luke Van In] or to the people who licensed them to us. Playing it does not transfer any of that to you.

What you may not do

Copy, sell, rent or share the game or its files, or put them on another site.
Extract the game's models, textures, sounds or music to use elsewhere.
Use the game to break the law or to harm the service that hosts it.

The law in your country may give you rights that these terms cannot take away; nothing here limits them.

Videos and streams

You are welcome to stream the game and to post videos and screenshots of it, including on channels that earn money. [Developer: confirm.]

Your saves

Your settings, progress, saved games, autosaves and replays live only on your device: in your browser in the web version, and in the app's own data folder in the desktop app (see the privacy notice). Clearing your browser's data, or deleting the app's data folder, deletes them, and an update may not be able to open saves or replays from an older version: the game will tell you when it can't.

Optional online helpers

The online helpers are optional. They work only if you paste your own API key for the Claude API (Anthropic) or for xAI in Options. You are responsible for your own API keys, for the charges on them, and for following the terms of Anthropic and xAI. Do not use a key that is not yours. See the privacy notice for what the game sends.

No warranty

The game is provided as it is, without any warranty, as far as the law allows. We are not responsible for lost saves or for problems the game causes, except where the law says we must be.

Third-party notices

Some parts of the game come with their own licences, which apply to those parts. Their notices are here.
