For everybody demanding lower energy costs:
OOO and Sega have to eat too. Keep that in mind. Energy here is ridiculously cheap compared to some other games, considering that it regenerates over time for FREE and you can get 750 energy for $2.50, which is an awesome deal. That's 75 floors right there, and the crowns you earn from them may be used to purchase even more energy to continue playing. Unlike other games, Spiral Knights has given us much more privileges to play and it does not have any "Pay for special access to these _____" things. They give us easier and FREE ways to obtain energy, which is much more than what other MMOs do.
Minor spelling error in the tutorial. Change it to "Click to Shoot," please. Otherwise, gameplay seems to be smooth, overall, a very solid game. A well deserved 4/5.
ATTENTION EVERYONE: The developers need to eat too. This game is basically completely free other than the dies. The developers have not made any "special members content" or any of that bs like in runescape. They have made everything available to everyone, and they're paying out of their own pockets to keep this game going. They need to pay their employees too. So please, do not complain about how there should be another way to get gold without paying.
I was running... faster than ever... jumping higher and higher... and then i got zapped by a bolt of lightning, lost 604,582 points, and then fell into the maw of a stupid plant monster.
