Under rating threshold (show) To bad the dev made premium content, this game could win the week or monthly kongregate competition for best game and get rewarded with some good $$$$$$ , since the dev made his decision about made premium content, players have they rights to dowvote it to 1/5. It's not childish at all , everyone have they rights to express they own opinion.

I'm okay with letting the prize slide in favor of premium content :)

Under rating threshold (show) Dear dev, dear kongregate, I paid the 10 bucks to get me everything. And now I am not able to do the challenge at 3.4 because I am practically invincible. Inventium gives me tons of healths, killing enemys gives me health and I got medpacks en masse flying at me. Each of those gives me loads of health because of another perk. So how am I supposed to get my health below 25% for the challenge? Maybe a "switch off" for the perks could do the trick...

Developer response from Arkuni

Kill everyone except for 1 dude. Let him maul you down to 5-10% health and smack his silly face with a rocket.

Under rating threshold (show) That attack was nullified. As such, it did not make contact. Since I was not harmed or damaged, I can expect my combo to be okay and my horribly overpriced guns to continue being affordable, yes? No. Not at all. And that pisses me off. If an attack is nullified or blocked it should, in fact, not reset the combo.

Under rating threshold (show) I *hate* having to pay for games. This is why my only console purchase was an SNES. But this game is getting a bad rap for its pay wall. Without a doubt, this is one of the biggest shooters I've played on Flash. And, unlike a lot of similar games, the newgame+ feature actually kept me coming back. Just playing the same game, but with slightly harder enemies, always seemed rather dumb to me. But being able to get further upgrades to already seemingly overpowered weapons made the replay exciting and fun. The game itself is more than complete, and to imagine that there are more features that I can pay for boggles my mind. This isn't an issue of shipping out an incomplete game and you are expected to foot the bill for the rest of it; this is fully-formed, replayable, and enjoyable. 5/5, and great job!!

Under rating threshold (show) Give the coil caster wayyy more ammo... It is the slowest gun to level up. Make the randomizer stronger and make it easier to fire up in the air with it. Try and make some more gadgets and add them to the game. And the hubbub over premium stuff can be solved by making achievements actually do something.

Under rating threshold (show) Okay, my instinct was to give 1/5 for the same reasons as everyone else; premium content on what we perceive as a free site is irritating. That said, this game is a quality piece of work, and I can see the logic in giving it 4/5 since 80% is free and 20% is premium. Even that, though, feels unfair; if the game had come out with only the free content and I never knew the difference, it would've been a 5/5 without hesitation, so that's what it should get.

Under rating threshold (show) Makes me wonder why people cry about premium content. The game itself is fun and addicting even without those items. And it's completely up to you whether you should pay or not, i'd rather spend some money here and support the developer than pay for one of those "next gen" crappy games.

Under rating threshold (show) It seems there are a lot of comments related to the premium content. I really think the ideal kind of system is Realm of the Mad God. That's a system where the premium content really is completely optional: pets, keys, ways to color your character, vault space, new character slots, yet people get hooked to the game so much that they pay for these things anyway. All the things are aesthetic and the ones that aren't have alternative ways to get them with the exception of vault space and an extra character slot, which is purely about extra space for content rather than restricted content that cannot be experienced at all otherwise. I'm not sure how applicable that is to an offline game, but a system that allows the patient player to experience all the content but allows payment to speed things up might upset far less people and improve the chances of people actually paying for it.

+ - !

Developer response from Arkuni

I think it would be very hard to monopolize on only aesthetics with a newly released IP. You need regulars and something that's already huge in score, which VU isn't.

Under rating threshold (show) My best suggestino to you: A trial. You give to people the gun, but they can only use it in one place that would be something like a firing range, so we can try the guns and pick what we want. Also, just a tip: You can make A LOT, A LOT of money by adding ads to your game, and them adding kongregate API and making of kongregate your home. You don't need to make a p2p game to have money.

Under rating threshold (show) I don't see the complaint of premium content here. It's completely optional. It's not necessary for the game, in as much to have cool shit. It's not like a lot of these MMO's where you either pay or have to wait around for days at a time. Besides, you can get the premium stuff for free on Bubblebox. Kudos to you sir for making one hell of an awesome game! 5/5!

The bomb doesn't deal damage to you (which is what triggers the multiplier drop), it just outright kills you :)

Under rating threshold (show) The best level to earn inventium is the last level on the 2nd planet where you are being chased by a grinder. Simply keep going right and the grinder will take care of the enemies. If you are in Parasox mode, this is also the best way to get the "get 20 paradox multiplier" achirvrmrnt

Under rating threshold (show) I wouldn't mind giving $2 or $3 for unlocking ALL content, but 5 buck per extra campaign or 10 for the 3 is just greedy. I've bough KOTOR on steam for 5 bucks and even if your game is good it's not KOTOR. I realize you guys got to eat but you really should be asking the player to choose how much he want to give you for it, if they enjoy your game people will be generous. I liked Necronator, i gave 5 buck for it even if i could get the premium content for one but i won't give you a cent because asking for $10 for extra content is just way too much. As you said it's only 20% of the game so that would mean the full game would worth $50, more than Skyrim... I don't think so. Plus i'm sure you get a lot of money from ads and contests. Your game worth a 4 for me but you lost 1 point for your attitude, there is a lot of better games out there that don't ask for a cent. I'm not saying that to be mean, take it as a marketing advice.

Developer response from Arkuni

I had already planned to try another pricing strategy in my next game. I felt that I had to do both so I could determine the best price range. The current prices are mostly as they are by looking at other games with premium content (didn't know about Necronator).
