Me too, i found it about 6 weeks ago and was going to become patron but after hearing of the more android I won't be sadly. The frustrating thing is it can be done but the dev just won't as some android devices don't like larger files, shame they don't think those that can handle those files are worth it but each to their own.
If I make an Android version that only works for some people but not others, I will be spending literally all my time helping people with installations problems and it will probably kill the game in the long run.
Joiplay is not ideal but it's the best solution I have currently. Switching to this system was not my preference or a decision that was taken lightly.
Why would you? Just explain that unfortunately you can't make the file smaller and unfortunately it won't be compatible for some people. Those that are able to install it won't need any assistance with installation.
You won't be able to satisfy all android users but you can at least satisfy those that have devices that are capable.
I hope you change your mind and if you do I'd gladly support you back with patron but until then sadly I'm just not playing.
