Props to †Ânxiety⌫ - itch.io for going out of their way to help dozens of people in the comments.
Also, just as a reminder to PC players who are complaining that 1.17 isn't out yet, I imagine the creator (Elena) is working on 1.17 for all devices. Updates can't be rushed as it comes with bugs that need fixing, ect. not to mention that Elena won't spend all their time constantly working on said update- they have a life as well. Having said that, please be patient.
