dev here: SO GLAD YOU COVERED GENOME GUARDIAN! (and quite well I might add, considering the playerbase expanded by 20% during the 4 hours this video was out) To those watching, it's true what it said about this "only being the beginning" - he did NOT beat the game, that was the intro/tutorial. The game is MUCH MORE than just "white turret sits in the center of a circle" - there's lots of different turrets, modes, perks, and a big story that opens up as you progress!

I've given it a try today and its been a BLAST All the unique combos and depth progression is truly amazing. I cannot play it more today 😢 My friends are also having a blast! Great game with awesome gameplay and a cute style! I will love to see how the game develops and follow along on its incredible journey.

An idea I thought up for Wander's complaint about getting weapons in shops while they're unable to be used: allow a 'finished' weapon with 4 letters already to have each letter 'reinforced' (there's probably a better name for it) and it increases the base stats, to allow for additional scaling. So, a weapon with an A that gets a second A, will reinforce that A and give a small boost to accuracy, damage, and speed (since it's the pistol). A T will get AoE, damage, and burn. So, when you've got nothing left to buy, you can still slowly reinforce your weapons. Hell, maybe they reinforce endlessly, and you can somewhat keep up with enemy scaling on a God run. Once all 4 letters have been 'reinforced' once, you can do it again, but you can't, say, reinforce one A 4 times and never reinforce any Ts. It's gotta stay even.

Was just about to comment about ATCG as well, love how they were used as only 4 bases with combinations for upgrades, kinda showing how our measly 4 bases irl still make a ton of variations based on the combinations in all lifeforms ^^

Oh trust me, Genome Guardian can get extremely crazy. Tier 4 weapons are already pretty strong (and have some crazy effects) but it's important to draw out their strengths with the upgrades. But if you really want to get crazy builds, you need to unlock some of the perks. The dev really loves to put all kinds of weird ideas into the game that work surprisingly well in the gameplay context. And not everything is balanced. There is a perk that lets you wipe the entire screen once per wave when you overheat for example, which makes it a great panic button on demand. And there is a turret that constantly changes its stats on the background music (more intense music equals bigger and faster bullets).

@mlogan2k2 Ай бұрын

That changing stats thing sounds a lot like Beat Hazzard. Looking forward to seeing it when I manage to buy the game.

Try to get focus and then get CCCG with sticky trust me. You turn into a nuclear power plant. Then either scale attack speed, dmg or projectile count.

Having the ion laser bounce is only a good idea if you also have a -accuracy upgrade; it looks like when a "projectile" bounces it heads straight for the center of your turret; so having bounce may make it not go straight and instead turn the arena into a resident evil style chamber(sticky may also be an idea to add on if it bounces like I think it does)

@HuslWusl Ай бұрын

I got this game because of you and I gotta say it's kinda easy. At least so far. TTTT is kinda insane with increased explosion duration or increased fire rate.

@AAAlpherior Ай бұрын

"at least so far" ho ho ho

@SYKRAL1 Ай бұрын

Looking at it, it seems like each of the weapons have a core identity that the work with C/pistol: precision and range. G/shotgun: multi shot and knock back A/submachine gun: fire rate (I haven’t figured out the other thing this specializes in if there is one) T/bomb: explosions and size The ion laser is the pinnacle of range and precision. Put a lot of G into a weapon and you get huge knock back. The nuke shines when you pump it with size upgrade. Mix and match to make your perfect combination. Does the order of the letters matter as well? If so that must have been an insane amount of work to get done

@Laenthal Ай бұрын

The order is irrelevant, otherwise there would be not 69, but bazillion combinations

@kennethgray7020 Ай бұрын

This game looks really neat despite the art style that i don't really care for. The weapon upgrading system is what really sells it for me. You gotta love when games like this innovate because that really helps them stand out from the crowd and bring some fresh things to the table. On a different note, it's really annoying not being able to hear any sound effects though. That really lowers the quality of the video significantly. I hope you'd consider the fact that it's more enjoyable as a viewer to hear them instead of them being muted.

I remember there was one game Wander played a while back, with similar visuals and somewhat similar playstyle. Any1 can tell me the name of the game plz, trying to find it. IIRC in the game everything is kinda like fuzzy ink blobs, you're defending the base in the middle, can add different turrets to it and they automatically shoots at the enemies. Wander had a whole series for it. Thx 🙏
