Hey guys! Sorry for not updating you all sooner. I had assumed most of you already knew, but I see now that I was wrong. I’m still alive!
About 5 years ago I changed my studio name to the temporary “The Village Blacksmith”, or “ThatBlacksmith” on Kongregate until I finally settled on my current name “2D Heroes” in early 2013. I released a few games under each of those names on Kongregate, but eventually moved on to bigger and better things.
I’m currently streaming every weekday over on Twitch, building games for Steam, Web and potentially even Mobile. You can find my stream and more information at http://twitch.tv/2dheroes
P.S. – Pixel Purge 2 will still be a thing. I just have to find time to work on it <3

I'm considering adding a campaign mode to Pixel Purge 2 with a more completed story, rather than it being JUST arcade mode (arcade mode will still be in the game, and be even better than this one though). Rate this comment up if you like the idea of a campaign mode so I can get an idea if it's worth doing or not. I'm also making a forum topic about the game, so feel free to leave your thoughts there!
"Shouldn't it be impossible to get the "get all tropies" trophy since you don't have all the trophies if you don't have the "get all trophies" trophy" The final "trophy" isn't a trophy technically, you'll see when you get it. As for adding a shop, most likely.
To those submitting bug reports about the Fume King trophy, both Vessels and Fumes must be KILLED BY YOU, they CANNOT SELF DESTRUCT, it will not count as a kill. Vessels will release a bunch of grunts, while Fumes will shoot spikes in many directions. If you actually kill them, neither of these actions will happen.
Excellent game, one of my new favorite flash games of all time. Shame on you for leaving out high scores, and achievements, but that aside, this is a very polished and complete game. I see incredible potential for a sequel, hopefully you explore those options in the months to come. Fantastically fun gameplay, great effects, very upbeat, and overall, awesome.
The latest Kongregate version automatically submits your score to the Kongregate score boards. To view your score, click on the "High Scores" tab above the chat window.
The tiny ass purple things have so little health they die in one shot, I don't think we can lower them that much. Upgrade your piercing ability, it destroys them in an instant.
WASD or Arrow Keys – Move Around
Space, Esc, or P – Pause / Upgrade Menu

There's instructions built into the site and game, please read them.

You likely have a grunt inside of you doing damage, there's nothing in the game that can possibly hurt you for no reason. As for the upgrade menu, press SPACE, P, or ESC to bring it up, it only comes up on it's own once.
Your progress is saved, your trophies. This is an arcade game, it's a single play for high score, then it's over. Unlocking trophies gives you BONUS STARTING SKILL POINTS. Unlock trophies and you'll be rewarded with "saved data" in the sense that you'll have skill points at the very beginning, allowing you to get further.
+Pixels has two purposes. First, it's meant to level up quicker (combined with the pixel magnet). Leveling up faster will cripple you in the long run (somewhat), however you'll gain trophies and learn the enemies of the game quicker. The earned trophies give you more starting stat points, which then helps you in the long run. The second use is that it's a secondary form of healing. Leveling up heals you. If you're going for a strong healing build, leveling up your regeneration, magnet, and pixel drop a bit, will greatly increase your survival. There are many builds, and I've played them all. One way or another, each power-up serves it's purpose.

There was an issue with an improperly named trophy that was causing issues in more than one place, so it had to be renamed. Since it was renamed, your old trophy with the typo no longer exists. You lost the skill points because you'll unfortunately need to get that Gold trophy again. Once you get it again, the skill points will come back. Sorry for that bug, but everything is entirely fixed now and fully functional.
New version is uploaded, addresses all the issues reported thus far. We've personally just tested the new version and acquired ALL trophies and a complete bestiary, everything is now working properly.
The newest version fixes the issues with the marksman trophy, it'll definitely work now.
We also took out the ability to click the mouse really fast to fire beyond your firing level. It was meant to be a secret, but many found it to be a bug, so it's now gone. Better upgrade that rapid fire skill ;)
