Mok Force: the procedurally generated shmup that just won't quit

I've typed the words 'procedural generation' into this here text box so often that they've lost all meaning - what procedures are being followed, exactly? Are they the same ones they flout in every procedural cop show? I'm no closer to understanding, but it's nice to see the methods employed in games that aren't roguelikes every now and again. Mok Force is such a game, a vertically scrolling shooter with procedurally generated stages - well, stage , which will go on forever and ever or until you die.

You can play Mok Force in both browser and executable form, and all you need to remember with either is to hold the Z button and dodge like Hell.

His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet.
