For the past months we have been updating the game but now is the time for the big one, a time for big changes. 2.0 is here. Please, welcome Genetic Disaster: Mutations.
Mutations are powerups and abilities you can put on your character. They can be looted during any run you make. Some of them are common quality and other are rare or even legendary so you probably want to explore every inch of the map. Then you will be able to choose them in the lobby before every game: Move speed increased for close allies, Improving ghost damages, fire rate increased… more than 30 different mutations are waiting for you..
After bosses, you'll find 3 upgrades that are different for every character. Increasing Bunker’s shield size, Panic’s stun zone or explosion after each teleportation for Sneaky... every upgrade costs crystals so choose wisely!
Founded in all kind of chests and sometimes on enemies they can be saved and become permanent (even between games). You’ll need them to buy mutations or upgrades.
What are you going to do? Banking them for another game, or use them instantly for an upgrade?
A bank is a rare room that you can find in any level. If you get a game over before banking the crystals, you will lose them.
There are now 3 differents difficulty mods:
Easy mode: a walk in the park with less aggressive and skilled enemies
Normal mode: it’s the level of difficulty you have experienced so far in Genetic Disaster.
Hard mode: Bigger, faster and stronger enemies… but more crystals to find. Be brave.
It’s a PvP mode, a game mode from 2 to 4 players in an arena. No guns but only stools and some random power ups. People having been hurt and friendships have been broken during development. Beware.
5 new enemies have been created by the mad scientist and each of them got is very special: area of effect shooter, crazy-gatling-gunner-shooter, melee sprinter… They will definitely give you a hard time.
<*>Camera calibration rework
<*>Environments 2 & 3 optimized
<*>3 new items in the shop
<*>Weapons price changed
<*>Health potion price changed
<*>Weapons power balanced
<*>Ammo numbers and drop rate balanced
<*>New rooms and Safe level added
<*>10 new weapons added
And much more changes you’ll have to discover in game!
So basically you now have to run in hard mode through the levels with new stupidly overpowered enemies searching for crystals to buy the insane mutations and have a chance to defeat the bosses.
Sounds fun ; for the scientist I mean.

It's patch day! Version 1.0.2393
Hey mates,
we have released a second patch fixing many issues from tiny insignificant glitches to critical bugs preventing you from enjoying the game. Most of the work is about the multiplayer, first boss and the weapon's distribution (rom now you shouldn't be able anymore to loot a legendary wepons at level 1....that was kinda broken).
There is still issues, problems, bugs and things to improve so we are working on it in between familly diners and press interview.
Stay tuned for further patches in the weeks to come.
Very merry Cristmas to you, band of happy triggers!
Genetic Disaster is released
The game is finally out, right on time for Christmas. Everything is ready for you to have fun with your buddies all night long.
Since the early access many things have changed like the new bosses, new balancing, new weapons... to offer you the best experience possible.
We hope you'll enjoy and bring your friends into the madness of the game.
We have been forced to release the game a bit early due to financial issues. We are indies and this means we are living and working on our money for the past 18 months...
There is one god damned bug that is crippling the game: the online multiplayer has synchronization problems. We are working on it, at least the the programmer is, while the rest of the team is preparing the first free update.
Thank you for your understanding and have a good game ;)
