Detonation is a forgettable game, it's NES style game where difficulty and timing are the order of the day.. It's forgettable because it has nothing really unique or interesting going for it.. The Color scheme is something we've seen a thousand times.. while the gameplay seems a bit uniquer we've also seen games which are kind of sort of close to doing the same thing.. Why will this game be remembered, because the Developer in his frustrating, anger or whatever other driving factors he may have had, decided to revoke all the keys for his game.. Legit purchases of the game from non steam sources, had their access revoked and a big yellow box letting us know just who did it. In most cases the developer rolls out excuses and lies .. Tries to place the blame on whatever bundle site he sold keys too and claims they weren't paid.. With Detonation that didn't happen,, I suppose it was a knee jerk reaction over frustration and the likes either way, we had a game we legally paid for and the site owner legal compensated the developer for.. It didn't take long to fix the situation but the damage was done,, I'm not sure how many people were ripped off, but the dev removed the price of his game and set it for free. A decent means for making it up to gamers that were short changed even though the game was removed and the price set to free was with in a few hours time, it's not enough.. I'm not sure if the Dev will ever offer the game for a price again, but if he does I'd be very likely to skip on it, as that type of behavior is toxic.. It also makes you wonder what other shady or knee jerk things the dev could potentially do.. I'd recommend avoiding this game even for free the dev doesn't deserve any kind of praise or recognition for what amounted to stealing..
