Game Data
Save Game Location
The file prof.sav
contains unlocked ships and game preferences.
The file continue.sav
is generated when pressing 'Save & Quit'.
- No save file is generated if pressing only 'Quit'.
- If one dies or wins the game, the file is automatically deleted as is standard in roguelike games.
Quicksaving
- It is possible to 'quick save' by saving and quitting, and then making manual backup copies of the
continue.sav
file, and restoring them when one dies. - This may be considered cheating by some players and may spoil enjoyment of the game. It goes against the intentions of the developer's desire for the player to experience permanent death, a standard feature of many roguelike games. However, it is not cheating and is a perfectly reasonable to do, since saving at any time has always been a standard feature in good PC games.

Video Settings
Widescreen Resolution
- The game is very restrictive in only rendering in 1280x720. Screens with lower resolution than this, such as 1024x768 cannot play the game.[2]
Borderless Fullscreen Windowed
- Working using Borderless Windowed application. However, a black bar renders on the right hand side.
System Requirements
