–Google Play Console Slogan
Google Play is a mobile storefront created and maintained for the Android line of operating systems, both developed by Google. Originally released under the name Android Market, it eventually rebranded as Google Play in 2012, merging with Google Music and Google Books. It is currently the largest mobile game storefront, with a larger range of devices compatible and apps available compared to Apple's App Store, as well as additional formats and alternative gaming options, such as the Google Play Console. Google Play is home to just one Drawn to Life game, the most recent entry Drawn to Life: Two Realms, although the series' development teams 5th Cell and Digital Continue have released other titles on the platform.

Trivia[edit]
- All three 5th Cell series that began on the Nintendo DS have had games release on Google Play.
- According to the Google Play description, the Android version of Two Realms released on November 17th, 2020 - three weeks before the official release date.
- The description also states that the game is compatible with Android 4.1, the first version of Android Jelly Bean, which released in 2012. The low API also meant more recent Android models are incompatible with the game.
- No official reason has been given for any of this.
- Meanwhile, the App Store version requires iOS 9 (released in 2015) or above to run, making this game compatible with models as early as the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (both released in 2011). It is currently unknown if this version has the same compatibility issue with newer models as the Android release.
