dear itch tech team.

First I want to say thanks for provide a awesome platform for indie-game developers.

May I ask is there any way to ask player runing game via itch.io?

I bought two itch api tools from unity asset store but they are not work properly…

And I don’t really understand how to use the api… It’s a very important request especially If when we start to selling final game product on itch.io

Please help us. Thanks! :)

At the moment we don’t provide a way to force people to download games through the app.

You can check if they are running in the app by reading the environment variables passed to your game’s executable when using a manifest:

I already made it thought a tool, thanks for reply me. :)
