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 !

Ooh, just had my first proper taste of Sektori, and can confirm what the other arcade sickos have been saying: This is a juicy, refined take on a Geometry Wars'y shooter.

It has a Gradius'y powerup system, a recharging melee/bomb attack that immediately restocks if you do it through a score token.

Sektori is the most Finland coded game I've ever played. It feels like you got Isekei'd into a demoscene demo. This is the kind of game they'd invent in a YA novel in 1995 where dying in the game means they blow up the earth.

Last night I was playing Sektori on the Steam Deck. It was a great game.

Tonight I'm playing Sektori on my OLED, sound CRANKED through the stereo, spent time with the analog equalizer getting the levels just right, PS5 controller, lights synced.

Some incredibly potent sativa.

Holy shit.

I finally found it! I've gotten lots of compliments for Sektori, and I've been very happy about the critical reception. (Thank you!) But now, I found the one negative comment that rang true! And invalidated everything else! And that I'll be thinking for a week or two at least! 😆
