Genetos: Difference between revisions

* [[Crash Into Hello]]: Quite literal: Genetos ''smashes itself into Earth'' and then calmly introduces itself, hoping to become friends.

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]

** Though bosses also start using new attack patterns when you evolve, meaning it is sometimes easier to fight them before evolving.

* [[Cute Em Up]]: The very first level. The rest of the game is more standard shooter fare.

** 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 ''[[Do Don Pachi]]'' and the ''[[Ray Series]]'', and stage five is one to ''[[Ikaruga]]'' and ''[[Radiant Silvergun]]''.

* [[Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels]]: Beginner, Standard User, Programmer, Hacker, and Creator.

* [[Interface Screw]]: The motion blur feature. Even its lowest setting will make your eyes hurt after extended exposure.

* [[Laser Sword]]: Obtained if you play aggressively and get close to foes.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: The first four bosses are described as [[Boss Subtitles|"The Mutant"]].

* [[Scenery Porn]]: Stages 4 and 5.

** 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 Maker|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).
