About This Game





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").

  • Bomb + Shotgun combines explosives with spread to create Blast Shotgun!
  • Bomb + Bomb doubles down on explosive power to make Bazooka!
  • Blast Shotgun + Shotgun forms the all-powerful Flak Cannon!



  • 25 Turrets with unique strengths and functions
  • 48 Perks to mix and match that drastically change how you play
  • 72 Turret & Weapon Mods that can turn shots into sticky mines or bouncing fireballs
  • 28 Mutations that alter the challenges you face each run



  • 20-minute Runs that can be continued in Endless Mode
  • 50 Ambient & Electronic Tunes that adapt to the current mood and intensity
  • 100 Steam Achievements

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.
