Hi there! That's odd! The game saves automatically as soon as you pass checkpoint. You shouldn't have to do anything else at all. What platform are you playing on?
So I got as far as getting 2 of the orbs and the boomarang and then called it a night, pretty sure i closed it down with quit from the menu. then i loaded it up again to see if it said 'continue' as i did look briefly at someones playthrough, cos i was stuck, and their vid showed 'continue' or 'new game', but mine only showed new game? i started again and tried quitting on the room with the checkpoint. then i had a save game.
if i had have just closed the window down with 'x' should it still have gone to the last checkpoint as a continue?
yeah i think it was just that, it saved fine every time last night, back up to where i was again.
i've got a project on my profile called CollidEscape. it's a twin stick shooter made with SHMUP CREATOR and has hand drawn graphics using felt tip pins. i would love it if you can try it out for me sometime and give me some feedback, it's my first game! oh, the music is also mine
