Probably a dumb question but how do i patch the game on android?

(+1)(-1)

I'm not sure if the Itch launcher works for patching Android files, but apart from that... you don't, sorry. Ren'py has no innate patching feature and the nature of APKs means that it's functionally impossible for a solo dev on a weekly schedule and without access to the Google Play Store's API to do it myself :/

You can download the new version's APK and just move the save files from the old APK to the new one using something like File Manager. That's how most people tend to handle updates for Android; hope this helps!

You don't need to move save files - the game will do that for you automatically - and you can't move anything to or from an APK as that's just the installer :)

Install the update using the APK, click on "update" when it asks, and then you can delete the APKs - they've served their purpose. That's it! No need to shuffle files around (unless something goes horribly, terribly wrong).
