POKEFLIES: Neural Swarm is a compact Game Boy-style fly collecting adventure where you raise and battle evolutionary lines of flies instead of traditional creatures. Start in your home, then head to the Swarm Lab to choose your first larva (Vinegrub, Zebrub, or Chitgrub). Explore Swarm Town, Route 1 meadows, and the Old Cave, talking to NPCs, reading signs, and picking up items. Wild flies appear in tall grass—catch them with Fly Vials (or better Mesh/Vacuum Vials). Battles use a type cycle (Fermented beats Rotten, which beats Wild, and so on) and classic turn-based moves. Level up your flies to evolve them through Mini, Full, and Mega stages; feed Neural Moths or Royal Jelly to grow their “brain” neuron count, unlocking stronger forms and the ultimate Mega evolution at level 30 with a fully developed brain.

Heal at the Swarm Center or at home, shop for juices, nectar, and status cures, and install key abilities (Acid Gland, Cave Drill, Hover Coil) to cross special terrain. Defeat rival Axel on Route 1, then push deeper into the cave past cracked walls and acid pools to confront Admin Vex and finally meet Queen Myra on her chitin throne. Fill the Swarmdex with all 8 lines across 4 stages (plus rare color variants), manage a party of six, and save your progress. The game rewards exploration, careful training, and mastering the neural-swarm theme in a tight, nostalgic handheld experience.
