Two minor requests for itch app compatibility

Hey,

Been really enjoying the game, but I'm using the itch.io app and the experience is...imperfect. I was just wondering if you could maybe look at some fixes to make it work better on the app?

1 - Could you tick all of the platform checkboxes on the .jar version? The itch app doesn't let you download a build unless it matches your OS - I'm on mac, and no matter what the only version I can download is the mac .rar. If you tag the .jar version with some platforms, you can then download it through the itch app as well as the native version.

2 - Speaking of the mac .rar, the itch app doesn't handle it well. At all. Literally throws an error every single time I download it, I have to do it through the web. Would you be able to upload it another way than through a rar? This page by the itch team talks about how the app handles different file formats, but they mostly recommend using the command line tool butler to upload the executables directly without compression - butler has a 30GB upload limit versus 2GB on web, plus it only uploads changes, so users can update faster. (also it says it "heals permissions for linux and macos executables", so maybe mac users won't need to xattr and chmod, but idk if it would fix it guaranteed)

I really like the game, it's fun and the scenes are great, but actually trying to download and update it is just a headache.

Thanks
