Cassette Beasts, the retro creature-collecting RPG, is now available on iOS, but its Android launch has been unexpectedly delayed. Developer Bytten Studio reports a last-minute snag in Google Play's approval process for a crucial patch addressing pre-release issues.
iOS users can enjoy the game immediately, but Android users will have to wait. The delay is due to unforeseen complications with the Google Play patch approval, which is currently holding up the Android release.
This is disappointing news, especially considering the game's anticipated blend of classic monster-catching, battling, and open-world exploration. While these last-minute setbacks are unavoidable, Bytten Studio assures players that the Android version will be available on the Google Play Store as soon as the patch is approved.
Unexpected Delays
Unfortunately, launch day hiccups are a common reality in game development. The current situation highlights the sometimes frustrating delays inherent in the Google Play approval process, particularly when urgent patches are required.
The recent surge in popularity of alternative app stores raises the question of whether a broader initial release across multiple platforms might have mitigated this delay. While this is food for thought, it's likely the Android version of Cassette Beasts will be available within a few days.
