Cassette Beasts releases on iOS, Android release pulled pending approval for new patch

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. However, Android users will have to wait a bit longer. The delay is due to unforeseen complications with Google Play's patch approval system.

This setback is unfortunate, especially given the game's anticipated release. The developer assures players that Cassette Beasts will return to the Android store as soon as the patch is approved. Hopefully, this will be resolved quickly, allowing Android players to join the fun soon.

Unexpected Delays

Game launches sometimes encounter unforeseen problems. In this instance, the required eleventh-hour patch is facing delays in Google Play's approval pipeline. This highlights the challenges developers face with platform-specific release processes.

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 issue. While this is food for thought, it's likely the Android release will be reinstated within a few days.
