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 unfortunate, especially given the game's highly anticipated blend of classic monster catching, battles, and open-world exploration. Bytten Studio assures players that the Android version will return to the Google Play Store as soon as the patch is approved.
Unexpected Delays
Game launches sometimes face unforeseen setbacks. In this instance, the required eleventh-hour patch is encountering delays in Google Play's approval system. This highlights the potential challenges of relying solely on a single app store for distribution. The consideration of alternative app stores for faster approval processes might be a valuable lesson for future releases. However, the delay is expected to be brief, with a return to the Google Play Store anticipated within days.
