Thanks for the feedback, I will update the landing page with make it clearer the full game is paid. I also added this paragraph to my post which hopefully makes it clearer:

> For the web based version I am trying a new payment model. The original Asterogue was like most other games in that you simply buy it in the app store or on Itch and download the game. This time around I am trying a new experiment with this and instead of buying a downloadable binary, you can play the first few levels free in your browser and then you pay one-time to unlock the full game online if you want to continue. I think this strikes a nice balance for players as you get to try it out and only continue if you're actually into the game once you have picked up the vibe. I haven't really seen this done before with web based games so it's all a bit of an experiment.

Thanks for checking it out!

The popup should show after clearing some goal. Up to level 3 all I've done is picked up items and slain a few small animals.
