How often does it save?

[Destrada]

Can you save and exit at any time, only when you leaven an island, or when? Sometimes my play time is in small slices between tasks, so I might only get 5 or 10 minutes before something I have to stop.

Currently, the game saves after every move in the level select and in the Holt. If you quit during an island, you'll have to restart it when you load back.

Saving the islands is something we might do during Early Access.

Uff - not great but the game looks super fun. How long does it take generally to complete an island?

We've had very different times based in our playtest, so I'll let other players chime in on how long it takes them. According to our playtest, It takes new players around 30 mins per map which reduces to 10-20 minutes as you get familiar with the game.

Eagerly waiting for manual saving! As someone who picks up short puzzle games and drop them due to kids, it would be soooooo great if I can leave in the middle of an island <3

Not being able to save in middle of an island is a major problem that I cannot believe has not been addressed yet. This game had been in early access for a long time and is not brand new - saving games is common sense; this is not the nes.

FYI - this is coming from a huge supporter and someone who is absolutely loving the game, but not being able to save is frustrating since I am not always able to complete a full island. This needs to be a priority.

I too do not understand this design choice. I think the game should be saved after each turn, so that we can quit and resume the game later, like a vast majority of turn-based games do.
Is there some technical difficulty that prevent such behavior? Please implement this 🙏
