Bytten Studio #A20

Dev Team

The Dev Team, Bytten Studio, is A20 of the Archangels. They appear in two different forms - as three human NPCs Tom, Jay and Joel, and as an Archangel when they fuse into a giant Jumpkin.

The player encounters them as a secret boss in Magikrab's Gauntlet. Defeating them raises the player's level cap to 999.

Ingame Bio

Bytten Studio is a British game development company of three humans - Tom, Jay, and Joel - and a secret fourth member: Archangel Morgante. Morgante directs the development of Cassette Beasts through the minds of the other three.

Nobody knows why it is called Bytten Studio, or whether it should be pronounced “bitten” or “by-ten”. Furthermore, there is no actual studio - everyone works from home.
