Yeah I'm using the app and tried every link is the only way to update just download from a different source then the app?
Yes.
Question then if I download the game from a zip instead of installing to itch.io app does save carry over or do I have to restart?
If you are playing on Android, you must copy the save files to somewhere, remove old version, install new, copy save files back.
If on some other platform save files should carry over by themselves. You might still copy the files to be safe.
