@Doobierus1, it's the rarity of an item. Black is common, blue is rare, and Golden is "legendary", if you will. That item should have increased stats compared to one with a black background like most items.
Love the game, but I do wish there was a way to better understand how to gain uCoins for the next universe breach. Seems to be a very slow and somewhat random incremental system based on your money (Current or total, I'm not sure which), but it's unclear.
@NathanMouse - Well, the prologue (Where you choose responses) is to pick your stats, starting equipment, and other things like that. The unbeatable battle that follows is a tutorial on how to fight. As for the other part, I have no idea. That's happened to me as well.
The only recommendation would be to increase the caps for the amount of bolts fired. The second half of the game can take quite a while without the right special skill for every situation, and plus, I want to be able to fir 100 bolts at once. :D
I just had the best idea ever. What if we could ascend from any feature, not just the battle arena? That way, when you get to level 9000, it would be a lot more fun to ascend if doing it in your favorite feature. I mean, the battle arena's fun, but it has an awful lot of importance for something earned so early on.
Okay, so, a baseball bat for 12 dollars. Alright. A hammer for 450 dollars. Umm, that's kind of expensive, I can just get one from Home Hardware or something. A Morningstar for 12000... wait, what? Morningstar? Who sells these things? And then we have a Katana for 130,000. That price gap doe. And finally there's the million dollar chainsaw. Based on these weapons, I have theorized that the piñata is made of a new, (nearly) indestructible material, and that you are probably the most desperate person on earth.
"I have removed your hands from the room because they revolt me and you do not deserve them." Gee, thanks! I was a little tired of those useless things myself.
