Development

The opening song is "Blue Sky", performed by Dogschool. It is now sold in the Apple App store. Later on, this game was ported to Android and iOS devices. The iOS port solves the problem of the extreme long loading time issue from the PSP port. [1]

Reception

The PSP version was criticized for its long load times. It received "generally unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2]

gollark: Hey, that did fix it, neat!
gollark: Minecraft is just terribly programmed.
gollark: I'm hoping an update of the software and restarting it should fix it, but it had *better* not make a habit of this.
gollark: My webserver seems to have decided to stop webserving and just has some cryptic error about goroutines and a stack trace. What joy.
gollark: The bug (at least in the form everyone was using) was affecting iOS.
