Sleepy Time Boyfriend makes its debut on Android!


VisualWorks announced on their official twitter account that their program "Sleepy-Time Boyfriend" has been released for Android mobile OS phones and tablets.

Currently only the Kakeru version is out. Also VisualWorks has admitted that they have found flaws and are working to fix them. Kakeru's expansion packs can be purchased for 170 yen a piece. (It will be automatically converted) This makes the android version's expansion packs 29 yen cheaper than the iOS versions.

No information about when the updates will come or when the problems will be fixed. The google play store does incorrectly stated that 6 versions are available. It also states "18th Nov-22th Dec. we will release continuously CD a week!"

I cannot verify all problems with the android version on all devices but I can verify that on the "HTC Inspire" and on the "Asus Transformer" tablet  The dynamic background does not work and the alarm will only work if in talk mode.

Finally, VisualWorks confirmed on their twitter account that they have run into problems with "Masaya" the next character to be released for the iOS version (voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa) No time frame has been given as to when the problem(s) when be resolved.
