Unfortunately itch has a 1gb limit on files :(
I have to contact support to increase that cap, so for the moment it has to be hosted elsewhere.
I actually did some research about this a while back, I'm not sure if this can help, but I'm going to post what I found here. I posted this a while back at the page of another game. Hope I can play the new version of the game soon!
I got curious about this so I did some search on how some Dev's are able to upload bigger games that run on the itch app.
Turns out there is a tool that allows you to upload up to 30GB; it's called butler. I'm leaving a few links bellow if you are interested!
