Hothead Games are perhaps best recognised for their recent work on DeathSpank, but in addition to the sequel thongs of Virtue they are also working on a unique little strategy game called Swarm that's heading to unknown platforms in early 2011.
Here's a description of the game courtesy of Hothead Games themselves:
"Swarm lets the player take control of 50 utterly fearless Swarmites and drive them through an intense, entertaining and often suicidal battle for a greater good. Run, bash, huddle, boost, stack, jump, push and throw your way through gauntlets of death and destruction in an attempt to collect valuable DNA and ensure that at least one Swarmite survives. With a unique combination of mass character control and fast action, the resulting brutal aftermath will make players want to play Swarm over and over again."
