That's weird. I tested updating the game and my save file was the same. Is it possible you maybe deleted your cookies? I used Godot to make the game and it stores save data in the web browser's cookies.
No, I did not remove cookies. I don't know how exactly Godot handles saving, I know that there was an issue with Unity – the one I described. And I know there is a separate issue with Safari :D So maybe just bad luck for me haha
