I got a brand new phone running Android 13 and wanted to reinstall the game, but for some reason it's telling me I can't install any of the APKs (not the package installers or the main apk either) because they aren't compatible with my device, despite having lots of space and having just installed the update recently on an older model of the same phone. I can install other games from Itch just fine too. Anyone have the same issue or know what's going on here? 

Absolutely love the game and just wanted to transfer it to my new phone.

Edit: Oh, I think I figured it out for anyone else who may come by with similar problems - Google's newest phones are 64 bit only, no support for 32 bit apps, and I guess the game must be 32 bit. Hope future versions can eventually be done in 64 bit or have a separate version if it's not a huge hassle (though I suspect it is...) especially since Google seems to eventually want to push this policy for all new android phones going forward. 

Yeah it's the "only 64bit" on new Pixel phones problem. And it'd be a huge project to remake everything for 64bit from what I've heard.

Yeah, it's unfortunate because the writing is all over the wall that Android is going to go the way of iOS and drop 32-bit support entirely soon (maybe even Android 14?), especially with Arm's new CPU cores being 64-bit only, so it'll be inherent to most new phones soon anyway. 

It's ultimately (in a matter of a couple years) gonna have to be switched to 64-bit or just no longer have a version that works on any new Android devices, not just Pixels, but I totally understand why it's not worth doing at this very moment, when I'm sure people trying to play on the newest Pixel phones only make up a fraction of current users.
