MochiCoins

Note: All prices on this page are in US dollars
MochiCoins was a micro-transaction system that allowed bonus things to be purchased in web games. It was created by MochiMedia in 2009, and Nitrome was invited to be one of the first developers to try out the new system[citation needed]. However, Nitrome only used MochiCoins in two games. MochiCoins was discontinued on October 15th 2012. Since the discontinuation of MochiCoins, it seemed impossible for fans that bought the extras to use them. However, Nitrome fixed this in Twin Shot 2 by making the "evil" level pack free and having the Cheats N' Treats be unlocked with in-game currency. B.C. Bow Contest, likewise, had its own paid content changed to be unlocked as you complete cups.

Content

The purchasable content from MochiCoins did not take away from the player's gaming experience or ask the player to buy more to continue (or beat the game). It was only for players who wanted more of the initial content, and was purly optional to buy.

Future

At the time Nitrome announced the usage of MochiCoins, they stated they were only "trialling"[1] them and "don't intend to use them in every game"[1]. Nitrome decided as a company to not support the format of MochiCoins[2], and had intended on removing them as soon as they had their new login system available[3]

With the announcement of the cancellation of MochiCoins[4], Nitrome stated that they plan on "transitioning" the service[5]. It is currently unknown what the new service will be, but with the removal of MochiCoins, several features provided via MochiCoins will not be supported by the two games which previously carried the MochiCoins transaction system: Twin Shot 2 and B.C. Bow Contest.

However, on February 7th, 2013, Nitrome announced a new change to Twin Shot 2 regarding its previous use of MochiCoins. Instead of having to pay for the evil levels and Cheats N' Treats, players could now play the evil levels for free and unlock the Cheats N' Treats by collecting coins in-game.[6]

On April 5th, 2013, B.C. Bow Contest was also changed to remove MochiCoins. Instead of having to pay for the extra arrows and Cheats N' Treats, players could now unlock the extra arrows by completing cups in different difficulties and unlock the Cheats N' Treats upon completion of cups.[7]
