''Deyo Kokora'' recieved critical aclaim upon release, winning several awards. Social media, merchandise, and the biennual [[Kokora Con]] convention helped popularise the game to international audiences and kept the game in the public eye since its official release in 2011. ''Kokora: Second Edition'' recieved generally positive reviews. Although it was initially viewed negatively by its online community it has since become the predominant edition played by its playerbase. ''Kokora: Second Edition'' has been wildly praised for its accessible tools for user-generated content and distribution through the [[Kokora Launcher]], commitment to high performance for lower-end devices on both AurOS and PanOS, and expanding upon many gameplay elements in the previous edition. The game has also been used in educational environments to teach geography, art design, and computer programming. Several spin-off games have been made, including ''[[Kokora: Dungeon Hunters]]'', ''[[Kokora: Geared Up]]'', and ''[[Kokora: Education Edition]]''.
