Our take on Sentry City
Its defining structure is the blend of reaction-based shooting, trial-and-error attempts, and puzzles within individually designed side-scrolling sections.
What is Sentry City?
Sentry City is a cyberpunk side-scroller combining trial-and-error, reaction-based shooting, and puzzles.
A motorcycle map connects the city’s levels, where each section uses its own design rather than repeating a fixed layout. Players shoot and think through challenges, destroy an AI brain in each sector, and battle robot bosses while investigating the disruption affecting the city. The game includes infinite lives and several checkpoints in every level. Hand-drawn pixel art, animation, intro and outro cutscenes, lighting effects, and a retro synth-wave and electronic soundtrack shape its presentation. Each level also has a Time Attack mode that rates completion speed.
