Comment of the game producer

We are very grateful for receiving a wonderful award, the Game Designers Award.
Our team is very proud of winning such an award. We, “ASOBI Team” of SIE Japan Studio, Inc., always keep on challenging something new and unique.

One of our challenges resulted in “ASTRO BOT.” We are so glad to receive high evaluation from so many people and have many users play the game.

If you haven’t played the game, why not experience it by yourself? If you play it again after having cleared all stages, you may make a new finding.
