Just out of curiosity, how did you find out about the game? I first saw it on good ol' Kongregate :)

Steam

I was searching around Steam for free games at 4:00 in the morning. Came across Spiral Knights, read the description, and decided to download it to play it in the morning. I figured it would last me for a few months until I got Terraria.

Instead, Terraria lasts me for a few months until Spiral Knights updates. Best find in my entire life.

Suddenly found it sitting in

Suddenly found it sitting in my Steam Library. I don't remember buying it, though I did buy a couple of Humble Bundles. Maybe it came with those.

Me?

A friend who hosted a Terraria server talked to me about it and we played it for a bit (and that's where I got my old name), but he ragequit after losing to the Snarbolax.

Me? I just was happy I got a new game to play and just kept playing it.

Steam(long time ago)

Back then there were only two free games. SK and TF2 so I checked them both out. My cpu couldnt handle TF2 tho i really wanted to play it. SK i thought would be good so I downloaded it and it worked fine! when I was playing my first level (in clockworks) , me and 3 other people were 'venturing so it was awesome(playing with playas and killin' monstas' n stuff) :D

Ahh, I remember the holiday event of 2011. "How do I pick up snowball?", the motto of the ages. I racked up so many Krogmos and crowns from that influx of players, good times.

A friend linked me a Youtube

A friend linked me a Youtube video and was like "hey you should check out Spiral Knights." She wasn't really a gamer so I was expecting it to be some kind of indie band, hahah, so I didn't click it right away.

A few hours later I remembered the link and clicked it, and was met with the original promo trailer. That was April 3rd, 2011. I woke up the next day and installed it and I have never looked back. :'3

I was going through the various articles on yahoo's home page when I stumbled across this. A few of the games interested me, so I registered for Spiral Knights and another game. Spiral Knights was the first game I tried, and I quickly became hooked. In fact, I didn't even try any of the other games --including the one I registered for along with SK --because I loved Spiral Knights so much.

I eventually got my younger sister to play as well. And thus began the agonizing task of sharing mist and computer time with my sibling :P

When you need free games on steam, you're bound to find TF2, Spiral Knights, and Loadout.

I got steam the first day free-to-play games were released there, so it was plastered all over the front page and I went "sure". :P

I wasn't really interested at first when a friend told me about it during first summer SK came out. Few weeks later I was bored and decided try it out and was hooked. Next day I invited a friend over to try it out on my account and a beautiful 2 man journey to 5* began @_@

'how did you figure out about sk'? but then your message makes sense so. are you asking how we figured out how 2 play the game or how we found the game (steam, kongregate, ectect)?

I was looking for a good F2P game on Aeria Games and this was one of them, after failing to download one of the other games (my toaster of a computer), I decided to try this out. I loved the play style and world of Cradle and was hooked.

Origin story!

I originally found about this game on a YouTube add. I didn't think about it much, so I just moved on. Fast forward one year, my brother finds out about this game by an add on Youtube, like me. He gives it a shot, and liked it. I saw how he enjoyed the game and I decided to try it as well. Loved it, and have been playing it ever since.

I came in through the same ad you did Markus. Wish they advertise more cause it works! Anyways it looked interesting and I really enjoyed it during my first play through and became obsessed with leveling my gear and seeing more and more of the clockworks.

Oddly enough, I came from TF2 just looking for the hat. I ended up staying and playing SK more than I ever played TF2.

I found it on Kongregate.

I just wished I knew the game better before deciding to continue FROM Kongregate, because I'd gladly convert this to the site client anyday.

A banner ad.

Oddly enough, I clicked one of those static banner ads you see displayed on the side of a website, can't remember what site though. I don't normally do that, but I was bored during the summer and thought the game had a nice art style. Plus, it had the SEGA name on it, and I thought "A non-sonic SEGA game? I'll give anything that isn't sonic a try."

Before everyone points it out, yes I am aware SEGA studios make plenty of games other than sonic, including Jet Set Radio, one of my favorite games.
