Sicko Sanctum

On my first run, I was thoroughly blown away by all the improvements that were made to this game since its release on itch.io. The gameplay boils down to a very simple mechanic: walk backwards, jump, and shoot. Despite that simplicity, though, it's remarkably captivating. The gameplay demands your attention, and losing your focus for a moment could easily end your run. And with the new improvements, now you can do that with more power-ups, tighter movement, and a few special surprises. I think the weakest link is communication. Reworking player feedback to complement the gameplay would make this game more cohesive. While all the animations, sound effects, screen effects, etc. communicate the interplay between the player and the enemies well enough to make the game perfectly playable, weapons do not feel powerful, enemies do not feel threatening, and explosions do not feel dangerous. Another communication shortcoming is that the gameplay telegraphs almost nothing about your arsenal's capabilities. You'll learn about them if you read the optional tutorial, but it still omits some important information for surviving a particular battle or some more punishing enemy variants. Fixing all…

as a person using 400 dpi, the max sensitivity is way too low, it also inexplicably speeds up temporarily mid-game sometimes (NOT COOL!!!!) aside from that the game is decent, decent selection of maps, with rotating/random tilesets which i thought was cool

beat the game after my 11th try finally. Still dont understand the Blade I think but great game ngl. I wish I could pick the Songtrack tho because if its gonna loop id rather have the Main menu music ngl
