The deal we make with every player.
Four commitments — written down, in plain English, in effect from the moment you buy. Nothing hidden in a EULA, nothing rolled back in patch notes.
No microtransactions. Ever.
No energy. No loot boxes. No subscriptions. No “gem” currencies. No paywalls between you and the next level. Every Inlet game ships complete — everything unlocked from the first launch.
Free updates, forever.
Bug fixes, balance, polish, new modes, new levels — always free to anyone who owns the game. We don’t charge twice for the same product.
Your saves are yours.
Cross-device cloud sync is free. Export a save code any time without signing in. We never hold your progress hostage to keep you in our ecosystem.
Jackbox-style co-op.
If you own a game, you can invite anyone to play with you. Your friends don’t need to buy a copy to join your session.

Often paid DLC
On expansions. Years after launch, if a game warrants a substantial new content drop — a new mode, 100+ levels, new mechanics — we may offer it as a paid expansion at honest indie-expansion prices ($5–15). We’ll tell you when one is coming and why. Base-game updates are always free.
On AI tools. We use AI to assist parts of development — Claude for code, PixelLab for some pixel art assets, and AI-assisted music tools for soundtrack composition (every track is human-edited and mastered). Gameplay design, scoring + balance, and the creative direction are human-led. We’ll update this disclosure if our AI usage changes.
