comment
Genetos is a freeware Shoot 'Em Up game with an "evolution" theme. Each level mimics a different era, going from a Space Invaders homage through the nineties and up to Bullet Hell, and each has an associated ship, from a simple left-and-right-moving white blob to a sophisticated weapon of mass destruction with bombs and lasers.The set of weapons that unlocks for the player thoughout the game changes according to their playstyle, such as a sword that's enabled for staying towards the top of the screen or a boss summon ability that appears if enough hidden lives and bombs are collected.The game can be downloaded here.

comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: When your ship evolves in the middle of a boss fight, the rest of the encounter is like this. Some evolutions encourage you to avoid this, however. Though bosses also start using new attack patterns when you evolve, meaning it is sometimes easier to fight them before evolving.

comment
To elaborate, not only must you use a weaker ship to beat the boss, you must avoid collecting too many EXP power-ups during the boss itself, and all the bosses are Mook Makers. You could try to avoid the EXP in the stage and time it out, but that's a challenge in and of itself (especially with higher-leveled ships, which tend to attract EXP).

Gainax Ending
 Genetos (Video Game) / int_82accf22
comment
Gainax Ending: After you get all the evolution energy in the final boss, your ship fires a Wave-Motion Gun at the boss, practically obliviating it. You get the usual score tally, then, like all the other stages, it says, "To the next Generation." Bordering on No Ending, what follows is a scene of a busy city flashing over a picture of micro-organisms and then a staff roll showing scenes of nature and city development. Well, as the text that reads in the Final Generation plainly states, everything must come to an end. So the next generation is, possibly, just the inevitable following period of creation. After all, the hardest difficulty level is called...

Self-Imposed Challenge
 Genetos (Video Game) / int_8d4fcaa5
comment
Self-Imposed Challenge: In Free Play mode, you can do things like trying to play the later stages with a Level 1 ship. Certain evolutions will prompt you to defeat that generation's boss with that generation's ship. In some situations, this is easier said than done. To elaborate, not only must you use a weaker ship to beat the boss, you must avoid collecting too many EXP power-ups during the boss itself, and all the bosses are Mook Makers. You could try to avoid the EXP in the stage and time it out, but that's a challenge in and of itself (especially with higher-leveled ships, which tend to attract EXP).

Homage: Each stage seems to be one, to a different series. Stage one is an homage to Space Invaders, stage two is an homage to mid-80's arcade shooters like Galaga and Xevious, stage three is one to early-90's games like Toaplan games and the Raiden series, stage four is one to DoDonPachi and the RAY Series, and stage five is one to Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun.

Infinity +1 Sword: Two highly damaging ones can be acquired. While they are tricky to aim initially (they open and close as you move) and start small they do very high damage and virtually fill the screen when used by higher level ships.

Shout-Out: Given this game is a tribute to Shoot Em Ups in general, it's par for the course. In particular: The "Laser" subweapon that fires a Roboteching Beam Spam is a reference to the RAY Series. The "Blade" main weapon functions similarly to Radiant Silvergun's Radiant Sword, in particular, the way they protrude out of the sides of the ship.

Developer's Foresight: if you were to examine the folder containing the game's music, you would notice that the songs Answer, Rebirth and Origin have both a midinote  well, except for Rebirth version and a MP3 version. If you rename the MP3's into the proper MP3 extention and open them not only will it play in the media, but those MP3's are actually fully tagged, as if the developer anticipates you doing that.
