Both "Download" and "Support" buttons?

Can I have both "Download game" and "Support" buttons on my page (below the "Run game" block)?

My game is HTML 5 and is meant to be played online. I used to have a "Support" button on my page, but when I added a downloadable file, the button was replaced by "Download".

That's okay, in general, but if online players want  to support the game, they need to click "Download", which isn't obvious.

I suppose I can't have both buttons because of technical stuff, but... just want to be sure :)

That's an interesting idea!

Yeah, not to mention there are a bunch of people that don't download games on Itch because they hit the download button and instantly see a pricetag and leave without noticing the "No thanks, just take me to the download" button above it.

gonna necro this to also request this option...

I think its more likely that someone will support a game dev if they see a button that says support, as opposed to one that says download, with a support feature hidden behind it.
