Pay to play

Allenamento a pagamento, 1v1 a pagamento, online una partita al giorno se non paghi. Gioco bello ma tutti questi soldi non li do di certo a voi

Developer Response ,

Hi there,

Sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the pricing policy. The game has this pricing policy, instead of being a paid game upfront, to make it possible for you to play against a friend without you both having to buy the game. With this model, you can always play one online game at a time for free, so you don’t have to buy it to enjoy just an online game with a friend. This is not limited daily, its just that you can only have one running game at a time.

The full version is 1.99€ once, to unlock everything else. I think that’s not a huge price, and you are not paying it to a huge cooperation or something like that. The game has been developed by me in my spare time, with the help of some amazing designers that I hired. I had to pay them upfront, so anyone who unlocks the full game helps me break even. 

Hope that makes everything a bit clearer. For any other feedback, please write at support@strasser.app 

Cheers!

Salve, mi dispiace che non siate soddisfatti della politica dei prezzi. Il gioco ha questa politica di prezzi, invece di essere un gioco a pagamento in anticipo, per consentire di giocare contro un amico senza che entrambi dobbiate acquistare il gioco. Con questo modello, è sempre possibile giocare gratuitamente a una partita online alla volta, in modo da non doverla acquistare per godersi solo una partita online con un amico. Non si tratta di una limitazione giornaliera, ma di una sola partita in corso alla volta.

La versione completa costa 1,99€ una volta, per sbloccare tutto il resto. Penso che non sia un prezzo eccessivo e che non si tratti di una grande collaborazione o qualcosa del genere. Il gioco è stato sviluppato da me nel mio tempo libero, con l'aiuto di alcuni fantastici designer che ho assunto. Ho dovuto pagarli in anticipo, quindi chiunque sblocchi il gioco completo mi aiuta a raggiungere il pareggio. 

Spero che tutto questo sia un po' più chiaro. Per qualsiasi altro feedback, scrivete pure a support@strasser.app. Salute!

Cant play if you don’t pay

This game requires you to pay in order to play even the tutorial. The only free game is the online version but doesn’t work.

Developer Response ,

Hi,

The game is a free download to allow you to play an online game at a time with a friend (or random person) for free. The online multiplayer should work, but I know that there are some people who start games and don’t play back. Im trying to engage matchmaking to counteract this, but it’s hard to find a better player upfront if both you and the one who doesn’t play back haven’t played any other game before.
Other than the matchmaking, is there some other issue with the online multiplayer? If so, please send me a mail (support[at]strasser.app) and I will figure it out!

You also should be able to access the Rule descriptions for all games in the free version, which is the only tutorial that’s in there.
Also, you should be able to try both the 1v1 mode and the Train mode once before having to pay.

The game isn’t entirely free because I have to try to recoup my expanses for the development. This game has been made by me, a solo indie developer who made this game in his spare time, and not a big company with lots of moneys. I hired several artist who made it look as good as it does, which I had to pay upfront. By buying the full version, you help me recoup some of that money and break even with the project.

Thanks for trying the game anyway!
