any way to get the steam version for free if we puchased the itch.io version? seems kinda unfair to leave the OG supporters out
It's not about leaving OG supporters out. Steam keys can be detrimental to the dev and if they cannot pay to continue development on a game, they will abandon it. The game is $6 dollars ($4.20 if you bought the itch version prior to the steam release) if you pay for both versions, which is more than enough for a small game like this that is still in development.
