I mean, it's a cinematic masterpiece. It's exactly what I expected, yet still found ways to surprise me. So many call backs, so many little inside jokes and details to find crawling around each area. Absolute blast to play. Love seeing Voiced stuff in Jams, always, and as usual did not disappoint. Inventory System worked great! Guns were fun! Modifications to the weapons were cool! I believe a dancing hooker lady responded to my payment with "6 7"! Games like this embrace the essence of what it means to be SBIG. It's got that JANK man. Just the right amount. The game is totally functional (SPOILER: I barely survived getting ambushed in the strip club!), points you in a direction, and literally lets you run people over. I was able to beat it, and I absolutely loved the post credits room. Super awesome! Great way to pay homage! In a way, you did finally "just ship it" regarding the sequel. You know me, I love doing sequels to my horrible games. Great Entry!

Thanks so much for playing and all the kind words!
I've felt a lot of my past games didn't have enough little details for my tastes, so I threw in just about everything I could with the time and mental energy I had. I loved putting all the little in-jokes in and I'm happy you enjoyed them too!
I'm happy you liked the new systems too! I'd been tinkering away on them for over a year now and never had a game that made sense to put them in, and I figured if they didn't work well then SBIG would be the perfect place to try them out lmao. So I'm really glad you found them neat as well!
And yes they are doing the "6 7" thing! I thought it would either be suitably funny or suitably cringe/annoying depending on the player.
I swear the player experience seems to swing wildly, it runs fine for me, but others have reported some bad issues with the AI, so I'm really happy it worked for you! Only took 4 rounds of patches🤣🙃!
Yeah the post-credits section was something I KNEW I needed in, it's the tenth anniversary of the jam, it's a long-awaited sequel to my first game (as well as 2 others now), and it just generally felt like things are changing so I wanted to celebrate what was and the people who made it great before looking to a hopefully bright future! I mean quite frankly your name could've easily been in there if I had time to expand it out further!
And yes I love calling back to past stuff, and this sequel in particular is 7 years in the making (in some form at least) so you can imagine how I feel finally getting it out. Thanks again so much for playing and the feedback!
