ButaVX: Justice Fighter is a short role-playing game that features a likable line art look for the graphics and animation, although the adventure itself is an extremely short one and won't take longer than ten minutes to beat. The story is about a pig who loses his ball by accidentally kicking it through the window of a granny's house, so he sets out on a quest to retrieve it by running errands for villagers and searching for random encounters to be involved in.

There are two endings to be found in this game, both triggered by the results of your battle with the final boss. Windows only.

Third Wire Productions is a rare indie developer specializing in combat flight simulators. Or, to be precise, old-school combat flight simulators in the spirit of entertaining games released by Sierra/Dynamix and Jane's. Think flight sims, that can be played with the simplest joystick without memorizing tons of keys and learning positions of all the switches in the cockpit.

Despite controls' simplicity the games feature a reasonably realistic flight model (it can be simplified if you wish to play with an Xbox 360-type controller). Design of various internal systems is done in a similar manner, e.g. you can fully control any in-game radar with just 4 keys, yet the game can model the inability of early radars to detect and track low-flying targets which strongly affects combat tactics.

So far the 4 games released in Strike Fighters 2 series are remakes of 4 earlier Third Wire sims for better VistaWin7 compatibility and some extra features, but new releases are planned as well. Each game offers a different theatre of war and a corresponding plane set. The player can take part in bombing campaigns over North Vietnam, Arab-Israeli wars, a few hypothetical clashes in Central Europe or fictional conflicts between US-backed state of Parani and Soviet-backed Dimar over some oil. The latter conflict also allows the player to lead a Parani mercenary squadron, where cash received for completed missions has to be spent on new planes and ordnance.

After two weeks of experimenting with a variable pay scheme and collecting data, 2D Boy had posted about the results on their site. All the stats are gathered from the 83,250 copies sold through donations. This article is a follow-up to the one posted on October 19th, and there are over six thousand of replies that you can read in their survey results as well (for the thoughts and comments question).
