History VideoGame / Genetos

* DevelopersForesight: 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 midi[[note]] well, except for Rebirth[[/note]] version '''and''' a UsefulNotes/MP3 version. If you rename the [=MP3=]'s into the proper [=MP3=] extension 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.

''Genetos'' is a freeware ShootEmUp game with an "evolution" theme. Each level mimics a different era, going from a ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders'' homage through the nineties and up to BulletHell, 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.

* LevelUp: Your ship isn't necessarily matched to your stage, instead improving when you collect enough of the green pellets dropped by enemies.

* DummiedOut: 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 midi[[note]] well, except for Rebirth[[/note]] version '''and''' a [=MP3=] version. If you can successfully convert the midi files into the proper midi format [[note]]Those midi files are not in the standard midi format. In order to convert them in order to listen to those songs outside Genetos, one needs to find a extremely-hard-to-find-if-your-not-Japanese [[http://ledyba.org/2011/01/23192331.php oreshiki decrypter.]] [[/note]] you then get to hear what those songs would have apparently sound like before the dev decided to use [=MP3=]'s for those songs instead in the final game.

* GainaxEnding: After you get all the evolution energy in the final boss, [[spoiler:your ship fires a WaveMotionGun at the boss, practically obliviating it. You get the usual score tally, then, like all the other stages, it says, "[[AndTheAdventureContinues To the next Generation...]]"]] [[NoEnding ...What?!]]
