Ok, it's been one week shy of two months since release. Maybe time for a 'state of Sektori' thread again? First, still super grateful of the response. Ending on some GOTY 2025 lists was unexpected to say the least.
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).

A full day of e-mails, accounting and whatever management is a good way to remind oneself why I want to minimize any business interactions with anyone... Soul destroying work.

It has come to my attention that you guys didn’t buy Sektori, and that’s fucked up. It’s the only game I’m playing right now. store.steampowered.com/app/2105620/...

Fellow Sektori players, which is your preferred mode? I was playing campaign most but I’ve since shifted to classic. The wife likes gates a lot.
If I have one complaint about this game, I wish the difficulty increased a bit more gradually. Never has a twin-stick shooter kicked my ass this severely.

feeling anxious about the state of the world? Play @gimblll.com’s SEKTORI. Your brain simply does not have the capacity to comprehend it and worry at the same time. You will feel better.

came in on a squeaker but my GOTY is SEKTORI (PS5, PC).
It's like watching an artist create a stunning portrait out of those shitty 4-crayons-and-a-paper-menu kits they give children to keep them quiet at restaurants. Dual stick shape-blasters should not be this intricate or thrilling!!!

That's a pretty good top 10! 🙂 Though all this GOTY list attention does make me feel like I'm living in some weird alternate universe.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I received @gimblll.com's Sektori as a gift from a good friend for Christmas. His only reasoning?
"More people need to play this game."
And he IS RIGHT.
@quoththekraven.bsky.social was the first person to get a copy from me, and if you watch the vid-- you could win, too!

Nothing better than reading a new @apwot.bsky.social, cannot recommend it highly enough. Even the art alone is worth the price.

Been spending some time going through my indie backlog. Consume Me, Despelote, Ball x Pit, Mouthwashing, Shelldiver so far. Next up, Time Flies. Any recommendations for sub 5 hour indie games?

Drop everything and play Sektori
Sektori is phenomenal. It's also far deeper than it seems.

I've been listening to this wonderful podcast from almost the beginning and this episode felt quite absurd to listen to. Spoiler: it features a game of mine you might now. And also @simonparkin.bsky.social, it does have online leaderboards, although perhaps not the most intuitive UX I guess 😊.
It’s time for @SimonParkin.bsky.social and @TheNewsAtGlenn.bsky.social to reveal their five favourite games of 2025.
Which titles from this year will they choose to construct their consoles? Find out in this special episode: bit.ly/4pY2JtM

I just found out about the game Sektori recently, and decided to jump in fairly blind.

Seeing as its christmas and steam sale time I figured I should recommend some games I enjoyed this year, even though they are mostly of the old school shooty bang bang variety that nobody else likes. I've probably mentioned all these before so feel free to ignore this

Sektori is now a one month old baby, it's been wild! And with the patch out, I'm done for this year. Finally a few days of rest!
Thank you for playing! ❤️🌈
