Thank you for playing FOAMSTARS.
Upon the transition of FOAMSTARS to free-to-play on October 4, 2024, the “Legacy Gift” became available to obtain for free as a bonus for anyone who downloaded FOAMSTARS before the update. However, there were some issues on the day of its release.
We’re very sorry for any inconvenience caused as a result of these problems and for the delay in our announcement due to the time required for investigation. Please find below an explanation of the problems and the actions taken. Once again, we’d like to sincerely apologise.
■Issues
Two related issues have occurred and are described below as “Issue 1” and “Issue 2.”
▼Issue 1
Anyone who downloaded FOAMSTARS after the free-to-play update was able to obtain the “Legacy Gift” for about 30 minutes after the price change, even though the ability to obtain the “Legacy Gift” should have been limited to those who downloaded the game before the price change.
▼Issue 2
Players who had downloaded FOAMSTARS before the free-to-play update could not obtain the “Legacy Gift.”
This issue affected anyone who downloaded the free version of the game in addition to their existing game, resulting in a duplicate version. Downloading a duplicate version is no longer possible.

■Actions Taken
