Heya, I'm sorry, but the save files in the web version are website based. So the save from itch.io would not be available on newgrounds.
There are however lots of reset points in the bottom right corner of the load menu. :)
Oh i see.... hmm if i were to download the current version would it also get updated as updates came along or do i have to reinstall every time?
If you use the itch client, I think there's an update function. But generally, you need to reinstall every time. However, it's not like downloading and extracting a zip file should be a lot of work.
if I uninstall to install an updated version would this delete my save files?
Yes
If I were do download the steam version and then uninstall the itch.io version my save files would be safe though right?
Your save files are at a different folder than the game, so they are unaffected by any changes you make to the game files. So yes, they are safe.
Awesome! Thanks for the help.
