Game Data

Save Game Location

Template:Game Location Table

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 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.

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] Note: a recent patch, added experimental support for smaller resolutions, provided the graphics card is modern enough.
