I try to download game in itch desktop app and it doesnt start the install. i tried downloading it from the .io website and it gives me a .apk file and i cant play the game? any fixes?

Hi,
If you're playing on an android device, simply run the .APK file to install the game. 
If you're playing on a computer, please install Bluestack first. Then simply open the .APK file to play the game.
