Muerte's Arena is now free.
To those that purchased the game and chose not to refund it despite knowing it was dead, I am very grateful, may all that can go right in your life do so, and all that can go wrong turn in your favor, for in my hour of need you did aid me with a bit of hope.
To those that play the game for free, I hope you enjoy what I managed to put together. I hoped to have made this game into so much more which is why I had it at the (what I perceived to be low) low price of $0.99. Alas, this was evidently too much to ask for.
In the marketplace people vote with their money, and the polls have closed. A purchase rate of 0.003 speaks loud and clear, no one is interested in this gameplay style, especially NOT American people (1 or 2 activations total in the US, but I don't know if they purchased or they were curators I gave keys to).
Here lies my first footnote in history : People would rather spend full price on a game they can whine and complain about, than help along something that might become what they want.
