Can do, and im definitely willing to go that route.
the only issue with that however is that id have to start a new game from scratch. Downloading from the website vs the app, has the issue of saves not carrying over. the app creates a file specific for those saves, but ive never figured out how to take the new update from the website and force the itch.io app to use the new update.
for now, ill download anyhow off the website, but please do let me know if you discover a way to resolve the issue with the App and this most recent update.
