Development
Beam actively sought to adapt the game for a number of different licensed properties in different countries around the world.[ Subsequently, the game was also released as ''We're Back! A Dinosaur’s Story'', based on the 1993 film of the same name in North America, ''Bamse'', based on the Swedish cartoon ''Bamse – Världens starkaste björn'' in Sweden, and ''Agro Soar'', which stars the puppet children's television show host Agro from Beam's home country of Australia. These versions changed the story and the graphics (most notably the main character sprite, cutscenes and the title screen) to fit the license but kept the gameplay, level design and music intact.][
