No, that's not how it works. We have to have the developers themselves create a thread, or allow a certain amount of time to pass before we can make it ourselves.

I love this game! One odd thing is that there doesn't really seem to be any good reason to pay them anything. I'm going to buy some records anyway just to contribute, but I really think they didn't need to make this game free to play and it REALLY is free to play unless you plan on soulbinding every piece of equipment you ever pick up. By the time you get to rare stuff you'll have plenty of records just from playing the game.

That is odd. It seems like they would have a paywall and the records. It makes me wonder if they had some exclusive deal and it is suppose to be more of a console seller by being for the most part free to make people play it more, make it climb up the O-rank, and be a hit that sells consoles. It just seems like an odd way to make money off of a console exclusive but maybe when I try it out I'll be able to see why someone would buy records other than as a contribution. It just seems odd that there wouldn't be a paywall for an exclusive that is suppose to be a hit that makes OUYA and them money.

.. I don't think this was ever meant as a money thing though.. I mean they got money from Ouya for a console exclusive, but it just seemed they wanted to get their name out there more. It definitely worked though as press has made articles on em, and people are looking though. That will definitely help them with their game coming out to xbox/ps3..

But the way it was set up, even including them records and being obtainable through other means, it just seems to me that they never intended to have this game as a non-free game. And if they do get money from them, then bonus.

But if OUYA paid them to do it and it isn't meant for mainly software sales for both then is it meant to just move consoles? If so and it doesn't move consoles but all of us OUYA owners end up loving it then there is a lot of potential money lost from game sales. It seems like OUYA and them would have aimed for both hardware and software sales just in case one or the other wasn't profitable or maybe both could end up profitable. It just seems like a pack in game and hoping it moves consoles with no plan B. It seems risky like it should at least be $.99 or something. Money went into it so there must be a plan to get money out of it and if it is free with IAP's then they are either hoping people buy the IAP's or hoping it moves consoles but that much hope seems like a big risk. Imagine Towerfall being basically free. That might not have turned out as well as it did.

If this isn't a system seller then i don't know what is. this game is so much fun and the loot system is really addicting im always wanting to get the next best item.
this was well worth the long wait. Soul fjord and chess 2 are two great games to start out 2014 for OUYA

Agreed. I only had time to play the first few levels tonight but I'm already hooked.
