Every day, Sektori climbs another rung up my GOTY list
Sektori is one of the best games I’ve played all year. Design perfection, a fantastic soundtrack, it’s almost impossible for me to put down. I need every sicko reading this to play it. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/sektori-shoo...

Okay, it's been a week since release. Reception has been AWESOME, much much more than I expected for such a niche thing! Thank you! ❤️ A few thoughts (thread).
This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies.

Last night I played Civ 6 until 3am, and I didn't want to repeat that mistake, so I decided to play a game with shorter sessions.

I then played Sektori until 3.05am

Yes, I was the nerd who brought the Second Reality soundtrack to my seventh-grade music class for ‘bring your favorite song’ day.
You see this guy and you're about to see some real shit.

5/5 stars from Eurogamer (Germany) was nice! Now do that on the main site too, I dare you. 🙃 www.eurogamer.de/sektori-im-t...

Thinking about picking up that disgusting game for perverts my timeline won’t stop talking about (Sektori)

One of my earliest notes on Sektori was something like "get going right from the start, no filler, punch them in the face". But it seems I'm punching a lot of people in the face now. I'm not really a violent man! Sorry!

Sektori is amazing.
If you want more Geometry Wars, play this.
It feels very familiar but also fresh.

Tip if you’re playing Sektori: don’t ignore the guys that travel on a line!

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

It just launched, I don’t see anyone talking about it, and it has only a handful of Steam reviews so I gotta say: Sektori absolutely rocks.

From an ex-Housemarque dev and if you love Resogun, Geometry Wars, etc. you need it in your life.

I've been looking at the concurrent players chart on SteamDB and after first day I felt like ok, time to go job hunting. But you guys keep playing more. This is weird. Maybe I get to make yet another? Maybe. Much love to everyone who've tried it. ❤️

In Ball X Pit, I expected that I’d beat each boss eventually.

In @gimblll.com’s Sektori, I thought I’d never get there.

But when I finally beat my first boss, I felt elated.

Can’t wait to dive back in and enter another state of trance.

Indie GOTY.

Spent one of my news tokens to gush about Sektori for PC Gamer this weekend. A must play if you're fan of Geometry Wars/pre-Returnal Housemarque/Tetris Effect www.pcgamer.com/games/action...
This roguelike take on Geometry Wars is the best game I've played this month, and the latest to become a permanent fixture on my Steam Deck
Sektori is a blistering kaleidoscopic nightmare.

it's a bummer how hard it is to get attention right now and how tight folks have to be with fun money because Sektori absolutely deserves to be over 100 Steam reviews by now.

Give it a look if you like Super Stardust, Resogun, and Geometry Wars.

Watch this trailer for #SEKTORI and trust me when I say playing this game is every bit as fun as it looks. It's a pure joy to play. You're constantly teetering between being overwhelmed and being overpowered. It's arcade shooter bliss. Well done @gimblll.com !
