I didn't even know there was this much of Japanese indie game scene, especially with all the doom and gloom we get from the big publishers. This warms my frozen jaded heart.

Looks like it's running a bit more smoothly now. I was finally able to log in.
EDIT: 503 error.

What are the payment options (for those that got it to work)?

PayPal. But you can still use it like most other PayPal online stores. Punch in your credit card number and you'll be good, no pp account required.
Edit:
Had some issues but the universe has righted itself. Downloading.

I got a 500 Internal Error after I paid and can't figure out where to go to get my game!
Edit: Ah, got it.

Right now PayPal is the only option.
We were originally hoping to use Google Checkout and Amazon Payments as well but we first need to set up an office and everything in the States(which is looking possible).
Sorry about the connections and login errors everyone! Things should be fixed now. If you are still having problems might be a good idea to clear your cookies.
Our servers got slammed pretty bad but the programmers are working their magic to help smooth things out!
If there are any other problems email us please!

Thanks
I hope you get so much traffic your servers catch on fire. You're letting me play La Mulana (again), no login issues will keep me from this.
Keep up the good work

Download speed is so hilariously slow. Like 1MB a minute.

Holy God, the audio is glorious. I'll have to tackle this tomorrow, but man oh man, this is going to be delightful.
Playism, I bow to you for being champs.

The website is only selling 503 service unavailable errors now 
What a shame. Almost could go through the buying process.
edit: If you manage to go through the paypal paying, check if you own the game already from: http://playism-games.com/account/ even if you get a server error after buying.

Bought, downloaded, and ready to see a hell.
Just to note (well, anyone that can actually get through): if the Playism site gives you a 500 error upon completing your PayPal transaction, check the Downloads section in your account. The game you bought is likely there, showing that the transaction actually went through properly.

This happened to me as well. The bad news is that the site charges you every time, even if you own the game already :/
Just emailed them and trying to work off my other two purchases..
edit: And it's refunded - that was quick!

I honestly never liked the look of the Wii version all that much, but now that I'm actually playing it...
I'M IN LOVE.
The soundtrack has a tendency to make my ears bleed, though. Can't wait for the classic music mod!

Hmmm, given the japanese flavour of playism I was kinda hoping for some rpgs/shmups/adventurish vn's.

Heres a quick and easy custom Steam grid image for people who want to add it to their Steam list:
It'd be nice if someone made a fancier one.

Yeah we are of course going to branch out to more titles.
I can say that we do have a couple of RPGs and Shmup style games in the works.
One of the next games we release in the next couple of weeks will definitely have that unique 'Japanese flavour'
It's probably one of the most ridiculous games ever created.

Great to hear! It'd be nice also to see some of the more involved adventure/visual novels (like the stuff that got localised for the DS - lux pain, hotel dusk, last window, time hollow).
Although I guess that's a lot more time & money to localise...
BudokaiMR2

Yeah one of the biggest problems is that a lot of those games are never created with localization in mind which means a lot of times every line is hard coded.
So even if we are able to cover the localization costs on our end, the developer often times cannot afford the time or resources to implement the localization.
We are looking into some solutions so that we can bring some of those kinds of titles over.
Man, I've been hawking this game for over a year now and it has become one of my most wanted games. I was just about to impulse purchase this shit, but I keep getting account creation errors. I just wish there was a Steam/WiiWare version to coincide with this because I would prefer to play the game on one of those services. Is it really supposed to be buggy too? Maybe I'll just wait a bit to see how things unfold before I download it. =(
EDIT: Oh, it seems like my account was created even though I got errors when creating. I refreshed the page on the error screen and it said the Nickname I chose was already taken. I thought that wasn't possible so I went to go login and it worked. Hmm...now whether or not to download the game...

I've played around 2 hours and haven't encountered a single bug or crash. Hope I don't run into anything game breaking. Still, it stinks that others are experiencing errors.
Try downloading it again; I'm not sure if they have actually updated the archive but just re-iterating what I heard elsewhere. Also it's a bit silly to call it a pc port when la-mulana is a pc game. Anyway, I've had no issues so far.
It's a port of the Wiiware version.
But anyways, I redownloaded and reinstalled, the menu freeze is gone! Weird, I wonder what was/is up.
Played until I died. Wow, this is going to be great. Amazing Castlevania style color pallet, I love the compression on the sounds, definitelyhas the feeling like it was a classic game lost on some obscure 32-bit platform.
The ReadMe states that you can use a wired XBOX360 controller as an alternative to the keyboard. I have a USB convertor for my PC that allows me to use my PS2 controller for games. I can't seem to get my PS2 controller to work even after selecting the USB Controller option from the menu. Pardon my lack of knowledge in this area as I don't normally game on the PC, but does that mean you can ONLY use the 360 controller? Other USB alternatives are not compatible?
EDIT: lol, forget what I said! I just had to hit enter on my keyboard and then customize it manually. What an idiot! Whatever though, my impulse nature was too strong so I'm ready to check this game out! =)

So, who's going to do the inevitable Playism OT?

Yeah, from my understanding the dlc bumps things above the 42MB cap, and while NCL allows that I guess it's a no go for NOA/NOE these days.
At least we're still getting the main game though, and probably at a 30% discount.

I got a 500 error when I completed my purchase too, but thankfully, since I checked the past few posts in this thread, I immediately checked my downloads, and sure enough, the purchase went through and La-Mulana was there. Added a warning to the OP.

I think I've read this comment before. Did something bad happen with Cave Story+ or NightSky?

Nicalis announced the WiiWare cancellation over twitter before informing Nigoro first iirc. There's also some question if they were holding up their end of the deal for certification/localization. Pretty shitty and shady on their part.

I look forward to it.
By the way, if a game has DRM, where do you state it? Just want to make sure I don't accidentally get a game I can't play.
Sir_Crocodile

Yup, they announced la mulana would be drm free, but some other games may have it on developer request - just wondering how/where that's noted.
