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 gamers can already dive into the game's blend of classic monster catching, battling, and exploration, but Android users will have to wait. The delay is regrettable, especially given the game's anticipated release. Unfortunately, these eleventh-hour setbacks are difficult to predict. Bytten Studio assures players that the Android version will return to the Google Play Store as soon as the patch is approved.

Unexpected Delays

The situation highlights the challenges developers face with app store approval processes. The lengthy Google Play approval, particularly for urgent patches, has seemingly stalled the Android release. The rise of alternative app stores raises questions about whether a broader initial launch across multiple platforms might have mitigated this issue. However, the delay is likely to be brief, with expectations of a return within days.
