Hey there! Absinthia and Knight Bewitched: Enhanced Edition are on Google Play Store's Open Testing, and all of my other games are available on the Google Play Store as well.

Here's a link to Absinthia on Google Play. I think I've ironed out all the major bugs, so if all goes well I'll officially release it next week.

thank you very much for the answer.

do you think you could upload the apk also here on itchio? i don't have a google account and i would really love to play your games.

My apologies, I just got an APK file set up for Absinthia. That said, I'm not too familiar with distributing Android installers outside of the Google Play Store, so you might have to mess with your phone's settings for it to let you install it.

thanks. 

i think it's just a matter of uploading the apk file on itchio so people can download it, but whatever, i guess i might just end up not playing the others. 🥲

take care.

It is not "just a matter of uploading the APK file". It is also the matter of the vast majority of Android devices blocking apps that aren't downloaded directly from the Play Store, and the user having to go into their settings to allow installing apps from unknown sources, which is a safety measure Android phones have in place to prevent installing harmful apps. I'm aware my apps aren't harmful, but also that some users might not appreciate having to open their phone up to potential harm to install my app from the Internet when they can just purchase it from the Google Play Store, hence why I don't normally upload APKs.

"whatever, i guess i might just end up not playing the others. " Ok. Take care 😁

the entitlement is insane

How so? If the game wasn't ported back then then I'd agree on the asking for a port, that's kinda a tall order. (/understatement) Now that the game is ported I really don't know what the issue is with posting the apk.

If you don't know how to change those settings you probably shouldn't be downloading random apks in the first place, or exes for that matter. If security is the concern I don't see how an executable is much better. 

Now if it's a matter of not wanting to deal with questions from people who don't know what they are doing then cool I suppose but for them they already have the play store lol

Thank you. I've got the game on Google Play (ironically, I was reminded by Steam that I wanted the game), though it would be great if the Android version was included with the Windows one on Itch.io. Haven't started playing yet, so, hopefully, the controls work well on small screens.
