Madness but not as fun or memey play it if you like games that look like madness but dont feel like madness i guess?

FINNALY ive FOUND IT!!! that game that ive been wanting for so long! Thing-thing on steam!!!!!!! ive been wanting to play thing thing on my steam deck ever since i got my switch. the fact that this has native linux suport, i knew i couldnt wait any longer to pull out my credit card. dear developer, if you read this, i want to say thank you, and please dont give up. i know im only one person, but finding this game truly has made my day.

My childhood was pretty much all flash games and thing-thing-likes were elite, from what i've played, i can tell this is a solid base for what could be an amazing game that could fill that thing thing shaped hole in a lot of people's brains, I've played for about 4 hours and had an absolute blast, but i also wanted to pull my hair out at times. The weapons feel great, according to the developer, this game was originally a weapons simulator, and it shows, the gun assets are clean, the audio is top-notch and the attention to detail is brilliant. The character design teleports me right back to sitting in front of a silver 4:3 VGA monitor on a pentium machine back in 2010, could do with some more variety tho. The game suffers from some issues at ultrawide resolutions (I played at 32:9), you can see enemies spawning in and they won't shoot you from that far away, so it can be quite cheesable at times, but it's playable. The game can get a bit laggy once you start getting a bit trigger happy at a large group of enemies. There are other issues that are just early access teething issues, so i won't bother putting them here. --- The game is very early, it doesn't have a lot of content and has quite a few issues ('tis the early access way), but from what i've gathered from talking to the developer, he seems dead set on creating a masterpiece, and i'm all here for it, and for the 6 or so bucks the game costs, more than worth it.
