Description
_MAwCiMs: Arena_ is an action shooter with strategy elements and a surprising twist! Purchase offensive items with your High Score! MAwCiMs: Arena puts a twist on the generic arena shooter formula by introducing several offensive items to use against enemies. These items must be purchased to be used. The currency however, is your high score!

Developer Updates
IMPORTANT: Due to an issue with how the Kongregate API is implemented you must REFRESH the page with each play if you want your high score to be submitted properly. I am currently looking into a fix for this issue.
UPDATE 4/12/11:
- Fixed glitch with energy drain. It now reaches fill capacity and will destroy itself.
- Made it so main menu has to load before you can enter the arena. This will hopefully fix the issue of the game not loading properly.
Iโm still working on a tutorial/how to. Unfortunately school is keeping me busy so it will probably be awhile.

I've heard a few reports that the enemies aren't spawning properly. However, it seems to be working fine for most. I'm going to look into a fix for this problem sometime this week. In the meantime you could try refreshing a couple times or using a different browser. Or you could just wait until I figure out a fix for the problem. Sorry it didn't work for you. :/

Yeah, I have about a million things I would like to add to this in a sequel (and I plan to) but as it stands now this is my first game so there's of course going to be lots of room for improvement. Thanks for the feedback though!

Would be way better if upgrades were permanent, but with exponential cost.
