I'll definitely consider this route. I guess I associate micro-transactions with mobile games. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for the advice! I'm planning on it being fairly simple, but hopefully addicting. Similar to games like agar.io and slither.io. I know that those were very successful and made a bunch of money. With that said, I'm not sure there's room for clever product placement. Provided that I make a game fun enough to attract players, would ads create decent revenue?
