* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The early ships have simple names like "The Wider" or "The Attacker", but as it evolves, you end up with "The Armored Striker", "The Wing Arms", then eventually "The Berserker", "Hecto-Cannoned Hammer Head", or even the "[[OverlyLongName Giga-Beamed Infinity Hell]]"

''Warning Forever'' is BulletHell game developed by Japanese [[FreewareGames freeware]] programmer Hikoza T. Ohkubo, and released for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PCs]] on July 24th, 2003. It is available for download [[http://www.hikware.com/Prod/index.html#wf here]].

** Of course, given the nature of the game, if you cut straight to the weak point too many times the boss gets wise and gives that section more and more health. However, attacking near the base of arms and other protruding parts is still an effective strategy to slow down the boss growing larger. It grows more bits where you shoot and destroy them, but it can't do that so well when there's already a part attached there.

''Warning Forever'' is a BulletHell game developed by Japanese freeware programmer Hikoza T. Ohkubo available for download [[http://www.hikware.com/Prod/index.html#wf here]]. In the game, you play as the pilot of a starfighter tasked with defeating an endless series of enemy bosses. The game is notable in that the enemies [[AdaptiveAbility actively adapt to your tactics]]; if you've been focusing on destroying one particular segment, expect that segment to be reinforced. Likewise, if a certain weapon kills you, expect more of that weapon in the next form.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: You can actually just attack the middle section of the boss until it blows up, instantly defeating it. However, destroying its parts also damages the boss, making it easier to beat. Likewise, the same occurs when destroying an entire "arm".\\

* PainfullySlowProjectile - But as the game goes on, there's an ''awful lot'' of 'em.
* RammingAlwaysWorks - The bosses try this quite a lot, especially if the forward weapons are destroyed. When some of the later bosses fill most of the screen, it can be impossible to avoid.
* ShootEmUp

* VideoGameLives - Another mode of gameplay gives you three lives, with the opportunity to gain more as you destroy parts.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: the Boss-generation system is very intelligent and will tailor every successive enemy ship's design and weapons payload to counter your playing style.

It also inspired the real-time tactical game ''BattleshipsForever'', the BossGame ''VideoGame/{{Fraxy}}'' and the Xbox Live Indie Games title ''InfinityDanger''.

* GuideDangIt: How to get the boss to evolve into the "ISE-ONE" form. You have to kill the top/bottom two "corners" before killing off the core of a form WITHOUT hitting the bottom/top two, so that the top/bottom will evolve into an "[[StoneWall armor]]" form. Then you have to do the same with the other side, again NOT hitting the (already evolved) opposite side.
** If done correctly, both top and bottom sides will have the "armor" form, which will eventually make the boss evolve into the ISE-ONE.
