Correct "lv." to "lvl." as that's what the game uses.

On second thought, since the game uses "attacks", I probably should as well.

''Mike Shadow: I Paid For It!'' is an UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash video game by Tanoku released in 2011. In it, you play as the titular Mike Shadow, who just wanted to buy a drink with a coin, but the machine just swallows his coin and doesn't give him the drink he paid for. Enraged, Mike decides to beat the tar out of the machine, in the most brutal way possible. This sets up the gameplay, in which you control Mike and beat the machine up until his patience for the day runs out, after which you can buy upgrades with money earned from the beatdown, then repeat the process as the fights grow flashier and more intense (even if the machine doesn't ultimately get damaged).
----
!!This game provides examples of:
* BerserkButton: Losing money (even a single coin) is this for Mike, as evidenced by how brutally he decides to beat the machine for it.
* ChainPain: Chains, as the name indicates, lets Mike use several chains to deal the machine. Lv.1 has him use a pair of seemingly hot ones in a flurry of swings.
* ChainsawGood: The Chainsaw special lets Mike cut through the machine and then some.
* {{Cooldown}}: Every move has a short recharge time after it's used, ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes.
* CriticalHit: You have a chance to deal double damage with each hit. It starts at 5% and gets raised by 5% with each upgrade, plus the "I've Got the Power!" bonus can raise it further.
* DiagonalCut: Lv.3 Katana has the screen go black with a diagonal slice being shown, which deals light damage to the machine... And as it turns out, he also cut a building diagonally, which falls into it, dealing a much larger amount of damage.
* DisproportionateRetribution: What does Mike do after the machine refuses to give him a drink? Why, he beats the hell out of it. He could just cut his losses or stop as he earns enough money to simply buy another drink at a different machine, but nah.
* DoppelgangerAttack: Combo Lv.2 has Mike briefly conjure a copy of himself which joins in on the machine beatdown.
* ExcusePlot: The plot can be summed up as "Mike lost his coin to a machine and is angry about the situation! Now it's clobbering time!"
* FireIceLightning: Almost. The three elemental move types are fire, water, and lightning.
* IKnowMaddenKombat: Ball Lv.1 is a coordinated volleyball spike and Lv.3 is a super powerful soccer kick used against the machine.
* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Premium moves. They require you to pay a fairly large amount of cash, but their damage output (and patience cost) are unmatched.
* LaserBlade: The Lightsaber moves have Mike cut the machine with a lightsaber. Lv.1 uses a standard blue one. Lv.2 changes it to a double-bladed red one
* LimitBreak: Your Stress meter fills up as you deal damage. When it's full, very powerful Specials can be used.
* MadeOfIndestructium: The vending machine. It doesn't matter what you hit it with or how much you do it, not even the most powerful physical moves, weaponry or supernatural powers will ultimately leave a dent on it.
* MakingASplash: Water moves. Lv.1 is a tidal wave. Lv.2 is a huge spinning typhoon of water that turns into a larger tidal wave. Lv.3 has him surf on what is the largest tidal wave that swamps the machine.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The vending machine. Mike may check it with a paranormal activity detector in one of his post-round animations.
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Mike can lift some really heavy objects and deal power blows despite being rather spindly.
* OverlyLongFightingAnimation: Some of the longer animations may overstay their welcome, though they don't typically exceed 20 seconds.
* PlayingWithFire: Fire moves. Lv.1 is a huge flamethrower. Lv.2 has him summon a giant fire-breathing dragon by using several alchemy circles. Lv.3 is a giant volcano that spits a couple hot rocks and follows it up by a long wave of lava.
* RainOfArrows: Ranged Weapons Lv.2 involves Mike as a centurion ordering a group of Roman soldiers to fire a lot of arrows at the machine. They do so while he blocks the arrows with his shield, and he ends the attacks by throwing one straight at it for good measure.
* ShockAndAwe: Lightning moves. Lv.1 is a large thunder summoned from the sky. Lv.2 connects the machine to a ginormous shockwave with Mike's punch. Lv.3 summons a thunderstorm that electrifies him and makes him strike the machine like a humongous thunderbolt.
* ShoutOut: Some attack names are references, like "[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Fly Me to the Moon]]".
* SinisterScythe: Mike's default special is the Scythe of Death.
* SlainInTheirSleep: Defied. One of the post-round animations has Mike trying to fall asleep next to the vending machine. An unknown hand behind it tries to stab him, but he wakes up just as he's about to get killed and the hand quickly disappears. The animation then repeats.
* TelephonePolearm: Street Weapons Lv.3 has Mike beat the machine with a street light.
* TemporaryBulkChange: Mike turns muscular for the duration of Push Lv.2.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Physical attacks, balls, weapons, fire, water, lightning, meteors, nuclear strikes, and the kitchen sink[[note]]Okay, maybe not that[[/note]] are all used against a simple vending machine.
* VengefulVendingMachine: You buy upgrades to beat the crap out of an uncooperative vending machine.
* VersusCharacterSplash: Before each fight, the game displays "Mike Shadow VS. Vending Machine" on a screen like this.
* WolverineClaws: The Wolverine special does what you'd expect. Mike grows long, sharp claws and scratches the machine aggressively.
