This past November, everyone got excited when HAL Laboratory, famed developers of such classic franchises as the Kirby games, Super Smash Bros., and the Mother/Earthbound series released their very first smartphone title in Japan called Hataraku UFO. It’s a product of their internal mobile game development team dubbed HAL Egg, and featured an adorable UFO helping out all sorts of folks by using its special ability to carry around objects similar to a claw machine game. The game was so darn charming I just had to have it in my life, but at that time there was no indication that it would be releasing outside of Japan anytime soon, if at all. That worry didn’t last all that long though as Hataraku UFO made its way stateside in late February under the name Part Time UFO ($3.99), and it was just as fantastic as I’d hoped it would be. Here’s the trailer if you’re somehow unfamiliar.

Gosh, this game brings a smile to my face every time. There was just one problem with the US release of Part Time UFO, and that is that the game did not support the full screen of the iPhone X. As an iPhone X owner myself, I’ve come to detest any games that don’t support the full screen and are instead presented off-center with borders on the sides (or top and bottom, depending on the device orientation). It’s a somewhat petty complaint, but dagnabbit it bothers me, so I spend most of my days silently praying that all of my favorite games will eventually get updated for iPhone X. Well, I can at least cross this little gem off the list as today a new update arrived for Part Time UFO adding support for the full, beautiful screen of the iPhone X. Hurray! If our 5 star review and all my gushing isn’t enough to convince you that Part Time UFO is worth your time and money, the discussion thread in our forums is filled with tons of positive impressions, too.
