Itch.io has a section where install instructions are supplied but it looks like you don't see them until the files are actually downloadable and only after clicking the button to download. Zips with EXE and APP (Mac) files. Unzip and click the MULE icon. I didn't bother until this game was released but the Itch.io desktop app does a good job at making install & launch easy (Steam-ish). And it will update when updates come available--and they will be!

Just some feedback. Remember, I'm just one dude.. others may have other thoughts. I don't know what itch.io is. Never heard of it, and I've been using Linux exclusively for 20+ years. Others may or may not know of itch.io. I take it, that it helps you deploy like steam. Great! But from my side, I wasn't even remotely aware I was installing an 'itch.io' version of an app! Or what that means! When I look at buying from a random website, from a company/person I've never heard of before, I like to know: * What are the install requirements (eg, dependencies / packages / software required, to run this software) I think you added something here? Or did I miss it before? * What I have to do to install and get up and running There's no indication of any of this on this website. Not even a remote hint. Even on the Windows side, it just says 'windows 10 or later'. Does it work on arm? I really don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, I like that you did this. A lot. I hope you the best!

  Thanks for the feedback. It's hard to strike a balance between too little and too much info. And I'm definitely someone who tends to present people with a wall of text. I did the leg work to ensure it works on most Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. Some of the info is there, but Itch.io might present them after a couple clicks or in a drop down. But I see what you are saying. I think I might add a couple posts to the forums and link to them on the main page. I could go into depth about which versions of OpenGL are required, etc.. Should I make a Windows ARM build?

    Should I make a Windows ARM build? I'm not a windows guy, and I'm not sure how popular that platform is. Your question makes me wonder about chromebooks.
