If you've been eagerly awaiting the release of Cassette Beasts, the retro-inspired creature-collecting and battling RPG, and you're an iOS user, you're in luck as it's now available for you to dive into. However, if you're on Android, you might be wondering why the anticipated release seems to have vanished. Unfortunately, we have some disappointing news for Android users.
While iOS players can start their adventure in Cassette Beasts today, Android users will have to wait a bit longer. Developer Bytten Studio has confirmed that the Android version has been temporarily pulled from the Google Play Store. This decision was made pending approval for a new patch intended to address issues discovered just before the planned release.
It's a frustrating setback, especially considering the excitement surrounding Cassette Beasts with its blend of classic creature-collecting, battling, and overworld exploration. These last-minute delays are often unpredictable and out of the developers' control. Hopefully, the issues will be resolved quickly, allowing Android players to soon join the fun.

Beastly Business
It's an unfortunate reality that game launches don't always go according to plan. What makes this situation even more challenging is when a patch is needed at the last minute, as is the case with Cassette Beasts. The approval process on Google Play can sometimes delay such updates.
Given the recent buzz around alternative app stores, one wonders if a broader launch on platforms with quicker approval times could have mitigated this issue. It's something to consider for the future, but we expect Cassette Beasts to return to Google Play within a few days, ready for Android users to enjoy.
