You might have noticed that I don’t accept donations through itch.io. This is because itch.io requires use of either PayPal or Stripe for payment processing, neither of which work in Ukraine (PayPal has allowed money transfers to Ukrainian citizens since the start of the war, but not business payments such as itch.io)
I did not realize this for far too long, because I just never tried to withdraw the money I’d received. Over the last 2 years I’d gotten ~80$ worth of revenue from itch.io, which just kinda stayed there in limbo. When I cried for help at the start of the war, I’d received a couple of large payments (I’m eternally grateful for that!) which I later returned. The other 80$ are all small payments which I never bothered to return. Contact me if you’d like your money back.
I’ve set up an alternative method for funding: you can now support Mitch financially with Buy Me a Coffee (I personally don’t love the name of that service since I don’t drink coffee, but it supports Payoneer which works in Ukraine)
Mitch v2.0.0 introduced support for offline web/HTML5 games, however that implementation was a bit rushed and therefore unstable. For this reason, I did not upload that version to F-Droid. v2.1.0 re-writes a lot of that new code, and should be up on F-Droid soon.
There is a known issue where web games always stop as soon as the app goes in the background. Please comment here whether or not you encounter this issue.
