🧱 BitJump Devlog 0.6.0 — Saving the Day! 💾

Hey everyone!

This update adds something huge under the hood — BitJump now fully supports saving and loading progress! That means your unlocked stages, collected coins, and hearts all carry over between play sessions.

✨ New System Highlights

• 💾 Save & Load Support:
  Your progress is now automatically saved as you play. Beat a stage? Unlock a new one? It’s all stored for next time.

• 🧠 Auto Save:
  The game now autosaves periodically in the background — and shows a small “save” icon animation when it happens.

• 🚮 Delete Save Option:
  From the title screen, you’ll now see a Delete Save button (only if you have data). Click or press Y/N to confirm before wiping your progress.

• 🔁 Seamless Resume:
  When you relaunch BitJump, everything picks up right where you left off — no progress lost between sessions.

💡 Under the Hood

The new system runs through a centralized data script that manages all global variables — everything from your hearts to your stage unlocks. It’s future-proofed, versioned, and even structured to prevent data loss when the game updates.

Plus, you’ll now see a small animated “Save” icon slide in whenever your progress is written to disk — a nice little reassurance that your adventure is safe.

🎬 Final Thoughts

This update marks a big milestone for BitJump — it’s a big step toward making the game feel like a complete, living experience. No more lost progress, no more starting fresh every session — your little block hero’s journey now sticks!

Under the hood, this new system also lays the foundation for everything to come: new worlds, unlockables, collectibles, and maybe even some secret surprises later on. Every save from here forward will grow right alongside the game.

Stay tuned for more updates — and as always, thank you for playing the BitJump prototype!
