"Father of Sonic" Yuji Naka said in a tweet today that he was dismissed as game supervisor by SE six months before the release of Balan Wonderworld. He filed a lawsuit against SE at the time, and the trial is now over.
Yuji Naka blamed SE and Azest for continuing to publish the game knowing that it was not finished. He said it was an act of not caring about the game and the fans of the game.
Barran's Whimsical Wonderland was "mixed" in Steam's overall rating. IGN gave the game a low score of 4 points, IGN commented: all the charm in the universe can not make up for "Baran's Whimsical Wonderland", its immature platform design and ill-considered button design, making it a completely boring game.
Due to the Waterloo of Baran's Whimsical Wonderland, Yuji Naka left SE on April 30, 2021.
