Simple Arena Robots - In game purchases and micro transactions

Do you guys allow games with micro-transactions? Currently working on something which allows

the player to purchase cosmetics only. Searched through the forums and I haven't found anything in regards to this topic.

Also I'm looking for feedback and testers for anyone who'd like to this Simple Arena Robots.

In regards to whether the site allows microtransactions - that's not a question I know the answer to, sorry.

But I do have some concerns about using them. On Google Play or App Store, I don't mind them because I know that's usually the format.

But for Itch, I'm a bit more leisurely about it (I often browse from my laptop), and being charged for something cosmetic (like a change of character outfit) isn't something I generally look for. If the game is professional... I'd rather, for example, pay $1-$2+ for the game itself, rather than for an outfit.

It's also possible that I might not be the proper target audience for such a price model, however.

Anyway, I did see your game video, and it looks pretty cool! Nice work.

Thanks man I appreciate the compliment,

I had thought about setting a fixed price for the game but since it's multiplayer, we want people to play long-term. Hence why I opted for the F2P  business model with optional cosmetics.
