Availability
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, a method known as 'save scumming'. - This is considered cheating by most 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.
