It continuously hovers near the top of the paid charts on all platforms, and while many top iOS and Android games feature extensive in-app purchases and other frustrating tactics, Minecraft remains an undiluted premium experience that’s well supported and isn’t constantly fluctuating in price. While the tact of gradual enhancement may not have resonated with all players at first, that hasn’t stopped Pocket Edition from becoming a massive mobile hit. The addition of Minecraft Realms support allowed users to purchase premium access to shareable private servers, the graphics improved as devices became more powerful, and the controls and interface became more manageable. New blocks, enemy types, animations, items, and features made the world feel fuller. Subsequent updates brought a litany of additional changes large and small. Pocket Edition doesn’t have maps yet, however, so don’t forget the way back home! Walk in any direction and the world will continue expanding outward. A couple of months later came crafting via the new Minecraft Advanced Touch Technology Interface System (MATTIS), which was designed specifically to make item crafting feasible on smaller smartphone and tablet displays. In February 2012, Mojang added Survival Mode with its mobs (enemies) and tools, along with the day/night cycle. While the initial impression may have been mixed, Minecraft: Pocket Edition grew significantly with each major version update. The difference was that Minecraft was already a cultural sensation by the time Pocket Edition came around, which invited scrutiny.

With only the Creative mode, plus small worlds, a lack of enemies, no day/night cycle, and no way to actually mine or even craft quite yet, initial reviews pegged the game as too compromised to be worthwhile. Initial reviews were surprisingly middling, with Metacritic reporting a 53 out of 100 average score from critics-much lower than other versions of the game. When Minecraft: Pocket Edition first started, it was a much smaller and less refined experience than the one available today. But within a few months, the game made the leap to more traditional Android handsets, followed by an iOS edition, and Minecraft had officially joined the world of touch screen gaming. Minecraft: Pocket Edition first debuted in 2011 on Sony’s Android-powered Xperia Play-a “PlayStation Certified” device with physical controls that looked much like the company’s PSPgo handheld.
