The credits are still the only thing showing up as an install option in the itch app. I didn't understand why, as having a zip has solved install not being available for some other games in the past when I contacted the dev.
After downloading the game outside of the app and seeing that there's two EXEs inside, I was certain that has to be the problem.
I was very curious so I looked up some info. It turns out the itch app recently added rar support, so that wasn't the problem in the first place (sorry about having outdated info in the first post).
And according to the itch site an app manifest is needed in the case of a game having more then one exe. Otherwise the itch app won't know what to do so a game won't be compatible without one.
Thanks again for commenting, I did add a manifest but it did not solve the problem. I had to edit the page and select it's a build for windows. Then it showed up on the app! Thanks again for your comments, that's how I figured this out!

Thanks for playing!!
This isn't available to download in the itch.io app/client, only the credits.
I think it's because the game is in a rar instead of a zip (and the itch app apparently can't install rar).
That's a problem on Steam Deck, because on Linux the easiest way to run itch.io games is by running them through the itch.io app.
Any chance it could be changed so that the itch app can install it?
Oh, I had no idea about that, thanks for letting me know! I just uploaded the zip file!
