It took several years and the sequel to Sanguine is finally open to the world. As a fan of first part, I'm delighted. The game improves on all aspects while keeping original aesthetic and greatly expanding the game world.
Unfortunately such jewels are very rare these days.
Keep up the good work!
Reviews for "Sanguine 2"
Needs an opening screen saying "Not for pussies who whine about controls instead of gittin' gud".
After that weird bug that kinda jacked up my first save file I came back and started over again, and it was definitely worth it. Platforming was a challenge, and a legitimate challenge IMO. There were also enough parts where stopping to think and come up with a good strategy was key, and an ever increasing amount of secrets to find as the game progressed, that it made the game a well rounded package and not simply a pure action platformer. I'd put this game up there with the likes of Phoenotopia and am really disappointed that people even at Newgrounds are rating it low just because it feels floaty. (Are we starting to turn into the babies at "Klickers/idles Only, Not Games" who expect games to practically beat themselves for them?) I guess if you ever decide to try to make a game that caters to everyone then the lesson is that you need option toggles for "turn off horizontal momentum", "make chain twice as long", "make chain deploy instantly", "give player a bazooka", and "make game beat itself while player is off at school". Maybe that'll make you a rich and happy programmer instead of, well, whatever that was.
one of the best games i have ever played
when i started i thought it was just 1 world game
but after i kept going i was impressed that it had 3 worlds
and after that that there where easter eggs levels on easter eggs
i finished the game but got 12 keys and dont know where to find the 3 remaining
i think they are on the castles
soo what i did was glitch the game and used the chain to get over the level
and under that level there are the 3 rooms for heal lives and a dead man on a computer
(asuming thats you maybe)
but i cant get in the rooms i just stand on top of it
i really loved this game
goes to my favorites

RayBeckham responds:
Thank ya, sir!
RayBeckham (may I call you Ray?), I must say that even if your game is not a masterpiece, I should admit that, somehow, this game as actually made me think about what are the things that makes a regular game, an unforgettable one.
I must thank you, for the experience that was posible because of this work of yours, in ways that I can't understand this game was able to make me see the huge difference between something that has been done with dedication and something made to take money from others, congrats, Sanguine II is now part of my favourite indie games. I'll thank you again when I finish studying software engineering and a get to create good videogames, you know? Probably you have influenced me into the genre of games that I want to do and the mood that they'll have.
Ray. Good luck and succes.

Back at ya, buddy!
