Genetos is almost complete

Posted by John as Shmups

Remember this post I made last October? Looks like the final 1.0 version of the “play through the history of shmups” game Genetos wil be released soon.

Genetos is a vertical shooter with a “evolution” theme. The stages from the word Genetos mean different generations in the evolution of shmups.

You start out with a Space Invaders-like game in the first level. In the 2nd level, you move into late-eighties-style world. As you move on to the 3rd level, this is where the game becomes more standard. You get bombs and more firepower. Lastly, in the 4th level, you can go to the bullet hell.

Watch this video of Genetos with level 4 creator mode.

While we are at it, check this trailer:

Thanks to Tatsuya Koyama, Japanese indie game developer for bringing us Genetos.

GENETOS is a freeware. You can download it from Tatsuya Koyama’s website right here.
