Antistar sales broke a record yesterday, shipping more than a 100 units in a day.

With 2 days in the top 25 on iTunes Japan (adventure/rpg), the first update is doing a whole lot better than a lenient pricing policy would explain – just the encouragement I need while working on the next installment.

While this didn’t cause a huge online stir (what the heck!) the red haired heroine does have a few virtual friends. iFanzine is currently running a contest that will have you lie down on a sofa(?) and share your weirdest, wildest fantasies.

Time to take a break?

Maybe not. In the meantime, I digged a few interesting entries in the iPad section:

• Ozone is a platformer / puzzler pitched as ‘a mix of art and technology’
• Dink Smallwood looks like an original, in-depth RPG title. It does seem a little old fashioned and maybe not as ‘polished’ as Crimson Gem Saga, but maybe worth a look.
• Kometen is a psychedelic exploration/interactive art title with beautiful graphics, can’t wait to try it.
• Finally, Scene of the crime stands out with expressive black and white illustrations (admittingly, the lone user review out there isn’t all too encouraging).

Aside the big Antistar update for November, I am preparing a new english translation for
Twilight Cherry, a shockingly irrelevant, fun and neatly priced teen fantasy comic from Japanese studio m-kz.
