PSLS Writes:
The first two episodes of the Blue Toad series have been a resounding success, with sales beating Relentless Software's expectations and the games receiving mostly positive reviews, however the game has one, rather significant, problem – it still hasn't been released in the US, despite being in the EU since last year. In a new interview with PlayStation LifeStyle, Jade Tidy, the producer of the title, revealed to us the reason behind the delay, and shed light on when the US should expect to see the title.
Independent studio Relentless Software has removed the mandatory price tag from Murder Files as they kick off a 'pay what you want' campaign, with 20% of proceeds going to charity GamesAid.
CEO Andrew Eades admits it's "an experiment as much as anything" and didn't want price to block PC gamers from discovering Murder Files. This could happen more in the future.
Pocket Gamer: Blue Toad Murder Files doesn't feel like a port of a PS3 game. It feels like a title that's found its rightful home after a couple of years of wandering. The simple gameplay translates perfectly to the touchscreen of your iOS device, and the gentle pace is perfect for an evening spent reclining on the sofa.
It's by no means a perfect game, and there are some issues with load times in particular with this version, but if you're looking for a series of interconnected mini-games held together by comedy stereotypes then you're in for something of a treat.
Relentless Software co-founder Andrew Eades has revealed some very tasty sales figures for Blue Toad Murder Files.
The charming and child-friendly digital-only title has now reached over 500k sales for its episodes, with the number jumping to 827k when free episodes are included.

Huzzah!! Btw, I love the name Jade Tidy. And I love her too, she's cute and teeny.
