It's Grohm!
"The Grohms of today are made of thousands of zooids, also called Grohms. The zooid Grohms felt it was unfair how puny they were, so they became colonial organisms, and now use their strength to promote fairness in the world."

We're so thrilled to be able to announce that Cassette Beasts has sold over *1.1 MILLION units*!
We started out as a tiny team hoping we might be lucky enough to sell even a fraction of that - for every share, review, or positive comment, we really can't thank all of you enough. 💜

For all the trans people out there, if you like, please share something good that’s going on in your life, no matter how big or small.
I’m sure we could all use some good news to offset all the bad.
How about we start Trans Joy Tuesday! 🏳️⚧️
