I'm trying to install the apk but I'm receiving an error message:

INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NOT_APK: Failed to parse /data/app/vmdl1268194873.tmp/0.apk

What I do?

You haven't extracted the zip file. Sometimes Itch forcibly bundles the apk into a zip and you have to extract it first. Follow these instructions here:

But then should i change the name of the file to ".zip"? because the file i have is already in the format of ".apk" and the tutorial you sent says that it only works on ".zip" files right?

The "NOT_APK" part of your error means you're trying to install something that isn't an APK. If the file extension is an APK then it's corrupted and you'll need to re-download it.

Yeah, it was some weird bug... The downloaded file had the ".apk" format but was giving the error, but then I had to uninstall and reinstall a few times until it decided to work! Thanks for your attention tho! :)
