Just to make it very clear to everyone, I'm sorry for all of your issues with the DRM on this game. We've been making software for years, and all of it is DRM protected with serial numbers. No one has complained, and we manually unlock serial numbers for people with crashes. This is our first non-serious game, and I had no idea people were so anti DRM (specifically on Desura?). The DRM wasn't mentioned simply because I thought it was a standard thing, not a surprise. To those of you who purchased thinking it was DRM free (or were forced to get it as part of a bundle that was otherwise DRM free), I'm sorry that it was unclear at the time that it was protected, and I only now, from this magnitude of comments, realize how important it is to this audience to have DRM free games.
Right, basically we are used to making high end serious games for psychologists offices, which is why we are used to DRM.
There should be a standalone version available now. We had updated it to a new version, so for a couple of days it wasn't available.

The game will stay registered after you uninstall it. True though, 10 years from now I couldn't guarantee anything.
I know how easy it is to post an installer, and how difficult it is to crack a game. We would be lucky to have enough interest for someone to post a crack, by then we would have made some serious $ :)
So, sorry for the limited term, and I hope you love the game so much that you cry out in an anguished scream 10 years from now when you are unable to register.
Multiplayer is only between two computers.

What's the big deal? We don't want one person to give the game to everyone. Unfortunately IndieRoyale mistakenly said that this was DRM free, when we had made it clear that it was not. If you really install it on one computer, which crashes 3 times, let us know and we'll get you a new activation. Otherwise, don't worry so much, your unlikely to use up your 3 activations unless you are trying to give the game to friend for free.
You can use whatever controller you want and custom configure it.
There is a place where you configure the controller. Most controllers should work, and we tested with a wide variety including some wheels. Definitely any of the Logitech gamepads, as well as the XBox 360, as Red45 mentioned.

Nice game with simple graphics but very fun and playable. I really enjoyed the reward progression, as you have to get to certain amounts of points to unlock new items that will then allow you to survive longer, etc. I had a lot of fun, got about 2000 points, its very playable and you get more into it the more you play.
