Genome Guardian
About
Dive into a microscopic alien world, radiating with bioluminescent life and unspeakable horrors. Genome Guardian is a deeply-complex shooter that's easy to pick up but hard to master. Research permanent upgrades to survive 70 different microbes across 4 game modes, each with multiple ascension levels ("depths").
Pair DNA nucleotides Adenine (rapidfire), Cytosine (precision), Guanine (spread), Thymine (explosive) to discover wild hybrid bioweapons!
Genome Guardian is a product of passion - a culmination of everything I love about roguelite shooters, and a novel 'weapon-combining' feature that I've wanted to realize since I was a teenager. Your support will mean content updates and allow me to make more games in the future.
