The features added until now will stay free on the itch version. Additional features either will not come to the itch version as fast or will be steam only, such as additional modes, certain shapes, custom combinations, modifiers, multiplayer (if added) etc. Quality of life update(s) will be released (options menu)
Pay what you want has gotten me a total of 2 sales over about 20k plays totaling 4$, then $2.80 because of fees, and then that is taxed an additional amount.
In order to justify spending a significant amount of additional time developing the game I need to make some sort of return at this point.
An options panel has been added but is not live on itch because I have made many changes to how the game works and it will take some time before I can ensure both the steam and itch versions will work properly
To disable the drop preview, you can use middle mouse button. In the future it will be part of the options menu
