I'm lazy so I'm just using a machine translation of an article from Dutch web site Tweakers.net:

Fans of Ratchet & Clank games who still can't get enough of their favorite game, the recent masterpiece Rift Apart, can now experience an old, forgotten mobile game. YouTuber The Golden Bolt has tracked down the forgotten sequel to Going Mobile, called Clone Home, and made it available online.
In an in depth video, YouTuber The Golden Bolt describes the search for Ratchet & Clank: Clone Home. It's a sequel to Going Mobile, a mobile game about the Lombax and his robot friend that ran on Java phones. That game was supposed to have a sequel, Clone Home, which was supposed to be released in 2006, but never materialized.
Since then, a small but dedicated group of gamers has been wondering for almost two decades where that game has gone. Rumors have been circulating for years that a playable version of the game does exist. The Golden Bolt discovered this in 2019; The YouTuber already made a video about it back then. A Reddit post about the game was a major step in the right direction when it turned out someone could play it on a Sony Ericsson W880i.
In the video, The Golden Bolt explains how he managed to remove the game from the phone and then archive it. The game's source code is now available in HTML5 format on the Internet Archive, where anyone can play it. It's available in your browser, so you no longer have to search for old Ericsson files.
