If anyone wants to downgrade Joiplay without unnistalling it (because they don't want to delete or backup their games), here's a solution

First, install adb, pair your device, and connect. Install will vary per android and pc os (So, google it). You are going to use the command line for this

Go to your adb folder (usually named platform-tools). And download the joiplay apk files https://www.patreon.com/posts/joiplay-1-01-400-5186794 (thanks Phoenix for the link)

to send to pc, do

adb pull <apk location>/joiplay-101400.apk
adb pull <apk location>/renpyplugin-10040.apk

(alternatively, do <apk location>/*.apk this will send all apk files in this folder to pc)

(You can also download the joiplay apk files in your pc, save them in the adb folder)

To send to android tmp folder, do

adb push joiplay-101400.apk /data/local/tmp
adb push renpyplugin-10040.apk /data/local/tmp

(alternatively, do *.apk /data/local/tmp this will send all apk files in this folder to android tmp folder)

now, to install, do

adb shell pm install -r -d /data/local/tmp/joiplay-101400.apk
adb shell pm install -r -d /data/local/tmp/renpyplugin-10040.apk

And that's all. If you want to install on a work profile, here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56951666/install-apk-in-work-profile-via-adb...Read first and second solution

Please read the instructions carefully, I explain what each command does so you don't do something you didn't mean to do in the process (None of these commands can delete your files). I leave an example below of what this looked like for me

The game works for me on this version, I am using android 11

Android 11, Samsung, Ubuntu Focal, Termius ssh, adb version 31.0.2-7242960, Harem Hotel v0.13.1

cd ~/Downloads/platform-tools
adb pull "/storage/emulated/0/MEGA/MEGA Downloads/*.apk"
adb push joiplay-101400.apk /data/local/tmp
adb push renpyplugin-10040.apk /data/local/tmp
adb shell pm install -r -d /data/local/tmp/joiplay-101400.apk
adb shell pm install -r -d /data/local/tmp/renpyplugin-10040.apk

The hard part was not typing these instructions, the hard part was wasting my time trying to figure out how to keep both the new version and the old version at the same time (using Work Profile). I don't think it's possible. The hard part was also just finding instructions to do this online, so sharing this with everyone in one spot may help (instead of my case, where the instructions were spread in 3 different pages)
