THE BAZAAR
Android APK beta
The Android build I can verify is a sideload from Tempo's own beta page, not a Play Store listing. On 9 Nov 2026 a Play search did not show a Tempo package, while the beta page still offered TheBazaar.apk.
The file
A HEAD request to data.playthebazaar.com/game/android/TheBazaar.apk on 9 Nov 2026 returned 3,132,328,209 bytes, with Last-Modified 6 Nov 2026 at 22:33:02 GMT. That is 3.13 GB or 2.92 GiB. This metadata comes from the publisher's file host, one source; no version number is exposed by those headers.
Cafe Bazaar is a separate Iranian storefront. If a page talks about bazaar.apk in that ecosystem, it is not this game. Stay on the playthebazaar.com beta page for the link.

Install, in the order the beta page gives
Enable installation permission for the browser or file manager, download the APK linked from the official beta page, then open and install it. Updates are manual; the 20.1 patch note specifically instructs Android players to uninstall the current version and install the new APK. If a download fails, the beta page recommends finding the link in Google Chrome; it does not list Chrome itself as a download bug.
Other notes Tempo already published: UI scale above 100% can draw past the screen edge; Micro Mobile loads faster; settings may still show Exit to Desktop; Advanced mode cannot preview monsters, enchantments, or upgrades; cheaper phones crash more often. Basic versus Advanced is an input mode, not two different games. I am not adding a minimum Android version because the beta page does not give one.
Account and heroes
The beta uses a Tempo account and the live game environment, so progress carries over and purchases use real money. The October announcement says free accounts will play Vanessa after the free-app launch, with a full-game unlock. Existing paid owners were told they would not pay again; patch 20.0 says all heroes would be granted on 4 November.
Questions
Why is the APK three gigabytes?
The header said 3,132,328,209 bytes on 9 Nov 2026. I am not guessing how much of that is video or assets.
Do I update from inside the app?
The beta page says the opposite: uninstall and install the new file. Patch 20.1 repeated that Android players must reinstall.
Is Google Play live?
Not in the US search I checked on 9 Nov 2026. The sideload and the store are different states.
