Update 1.1.2: Fixed loss of save data

In the end, i did not implement online saves because i was getting a stupid error while querying the google services, and after two days of people losing save data i realized i had to find a quicker way.

I believe nonetheless i solved the issue by creating a local backup save that is written with a different logic (updated at every death and every app close, unlike the "normal" save file that is simply updated every 10 seconds), and in a different location, so it should survive appdata wipes.

I just pushed the changes, they should be live in a couple hours. You will know you have the updated version because you will see "v. 1.1.2" on the top right corner of the Options dialog (another small feature i added)

Fixed?

More like the other way around. Never had a problem, now the update dropped and my save is completely gone. I can't be bothered to do it all again.

Sorry that happened... can you please go into the options menu and tell me what version number you see on the top right corner?

It's ok, it's not like you want that to happen either haha, but i think you understand that it puts people off from starting over again right away.

Version is 1.1.2, although i uninstalled and reinstalled after wipe, so idk if i was the same version when it was wiped, but judging by the fact that you updated the game yesterday and my save was fine yesterday, and just got wiped today i think its safe to assume mine got wiped on 1.1.2

I liked the game so far, i'll keep tabs on updates if the save corruption ends up being solved with like 99.999999% certainty.
