Hey Glitch Luke,
We can tell you are a big fan of the game. I isn't our intention to exclude Itch, but just focus efforts at the moment.
What device are you on that blocks Steam? If we sold the game in an Early Access format on Itch, do you think fans would support that? Or what about GOG?
I play the game through itch since it's unblocked on my Chromebook, the device I use is a school-issued one, so I can't download any games on it. So this is where I need to leave you until I get my own laptop or computer. I do hope to see this game become something even better than it is now when I get there though, I do hope that more people find a strong love for this game that I've developed as I played this game during it's updates on itch.
