Celebrate the space year 2010 by venturing out into the void and destroying everything again, in this cute little freeware shmup. Genetos is a short and punchy journey through the evolution of the shooting game, starting off with Space Invaders and progressing through five generations right up to Radiant Silvergun-esque bullet hell. It’s slick, pretty, has lots of difficulty levels and modes, and supports joypads automatically. Fans of a recent WoS rant will also be pleased to know that it defaults to windowed mode, with selectable screen sizes and fullscreen option.

All props go to alert WoS viewer Klatrymadon.
