Unfortunately we don't have a good way of doing a trial version right now, but we've been thinking about potential ways to solve that. It will be a while until we have this figured out though, so don't count on it to come anytime soon. Sorry about that! :(

Hey, I replied to the Nimble Kick thread with a general answer for this. This should also work for Misstortion 2. Let me know if this solves your problem: https://itch.io/post/7744345
On Mac, you might need to add Nimble Kick to your system plugins path, as FL Studio doesn't automatically add the user's local plugins folder to its plugin manager.
To get to this location in Finder, open a Finder window, then in the top bar click on "Go" followed by "Go to folder" (or press Shift+Cmd+G), then type "/Library" (note the slash at the start). From here, navigate to "Audio" -> "Plug-Ins". In here, you might need to create a "VST3" folder if it doesn't exist yet. Inside of this folder is where you place Nimble Kick.vst3.
Then, open FL's plugin manager and re-scan for plugins. Nimble Kick should now show up.
The reverse reverb is a cool idea, but might be hard in practice, as you'd pretty often have kicks that are longer than 1/4. I'll keep it in mind though, I like the idea a lot!
There's been suggestions for outputting punch & tail to 2 separate outputs instead of only the main output signal. I haven't experimented a lot with this, but I do know that FL Studio potentially supports it. Not sure if this will be possible in all DAW's, but having this feature will allow for a lot more flexibility per part of the kick.
Pro Tools does not support VST3 out of the box. You'll have to use an AAX to VST3 wrapper (for example, BlueCat Audio's Patchwork) to make it work. (I have no experience with this however, so YMMV)
In the past I've tried getting access to the AAX SDK, but their terms are incredibly unfriendly to independent developers, so I haven't been able to.
Not at all! You can just download it from your download page. You can find it in your email. If you lost it, you can use the "Recover Purchases" form on the Itch support page here: https://itch.io/support
I believe this is a problem with Ableton specifically, because they keep the file open (locked) so Nimble Kick can't use the file. When Ableton re-opens, the lock is no longer there so you can load it into Nimble Kick just fine.
I'm with you though, this is annoying. I might look into whether shared file loading is possible.
You said you had accidentally deleted the plugin before. How did that happen? It sounds like your copy of Nimble Kick somehow got corrupted on disk.
You can try deleting the component file entirely and then putting 1.2.1 into the folder again. Then, before starting Logic, try deleting ~/Library/Application Support/NimbleKick.settings as well.
