Darwin 4078 is a mid-80s Japanese vertical shoot 'em up whose distinctive feature is the protagonist ship, capable of transforming into different organic shapes as it collects upgrades, an idea that played on the game's own name and its reference to the theory of evolution.
It's a rarity from that first generation of Japanese vertical shooters, valued today mainly for its visual concept, quite unconventional for its time.
