Looks like you can support the creator by buying in on Steam (edit: looks like it's free on steam as well): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1311660/Friendly_Fire/

I'm contemplating doing a similar thing, I wonder how viable it is (100% open source game that can optionally be purchased on Steam/Itch)

An example of that model is Mindustry:

https://mindustrygame.github.io/ (Open source)

https://anuke.itch.io/mindustry (Pay-what-you-want, recommends $6.00)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1127400/Mindustry/ ($5.99, with various Steam integrations; it has over 4,900 _reviews_ by people who _purchased it on Steam_, which indicates a lot more purchases. See also this: https://mindustrygame.github.io/wiki/faq/#why-are-you-chargi...)
