Field guide to The Bazaar, the Tempo game. Not the restaurant, the magazine, or Cafe Bazaar.

The Bazaar on mobile

The Bazaar's Android beta is available from Tempo's official website. On 9 Nov 2026, the US Google Play and App Store searches did not show Tempo's game. Patch 20.0 targets the week of 9 November for the store launch; the older FAQ and beta-page wording remains different.

Platform status

Patch 20.0, posted 4 Nov 2026, said iOS review had passed and that Android and iOS still needed one last upload. The updated goal was the week of 9 November. The mobile-beta page still talked about the end of October, pending reviews, and it hosted the APK. The FAQ still said mobile support was in development and not available.

What changes when the stores open

Tempo's October announcement says the app will be free, free accounts can play Vanessa, and new players can unlock the full game for $29.99 through Steam. The current English announcement does not give a future website, Google Play or App Store purchase price. Existing paid owners will not pay again. Patch 20.0 says all heroes would be granted on 4 November, and Steam hero DLC would be delisted on 11 November.

Phone requirements are not published on the official FAQ or beta page. A HEAD request on 9 Nov 2026 returned an APK content length of 3,132,328,209 bytes (3.13 GB / 2.92 GiB). Tempo warns that lower-end devices crash more often, UI scale above 100% can go off-screen, and Advanced mode cannot preview monsters, enchantments or upgrades.

Questions

When does The Bazaar come to mobile?

The newest official sentence I have is patch 20.0: the week of 9 Nov 2026. An older beta sentence said the end of October. Both stay on this page.

Is the Android APK safe?

The file I would use is the one linked from playthebazaar.com/mobile-beta. I would not install a Cafe Bazaar package or a third-party rehost.

Will my Steam heroes be on my phone?

Tempo says existing paid owners can use their linked Tempo account on supported devices without buying the game again. This is one publisher announcement, supported by the independent SenseOS summary.

Can I play the APK in an emulator?

The beta page describes an Android device install. It does not mention emulators, so I do not publish emulator steps as if they were supported.
