I played the demo of Buster a while ago, and it was great but... I've no idea how to purchase a copy. I've been to all those sites before, but it seems sort of complicated to buy if you don't speak Japanese.

That download link includes the full version doesn't it...

Sorry about that guys, for some stupid reason I thought I gave the demo (I have 'em both.)  I shoulda checked it.  Let me know if any of the other games are broken/outright illegal.  I'll replace the game in the link with the demo version.  Buy it!  It's a great game  Smiley

I'm happy to see it's still available and it's certainly worth the price.

I'd write a devlog about my current game, but I'm too busy making it.

I would like to get the full version of Buster but those Japanese sites don't like me.  Cry

It's certainly not easy tracking these games down.  And then buying them is a whole other story.  It's too bad Steam doesn't have a Japanese side;  I  use the JP PSN every once in awhile.  It'd be nice to have something similar for PC games.

it's quite simple. use ebay. there are also numerous sites that let you order japanese games in english. shipping from japan tends to be a bit high, though.

Yeah a lot of indie games don't have physical boxes.  I pay like $40 on shipping/customs whenever I get stuff from Japan.  It's almost never worth that kinda price tag.
