Steam Cloud?

Will this game support Steam Cloud at some point down the road? Or would Steam Cloud support not really benefit this game.
I ask because I game on multiple machines.

This is a rogue lite. So yes steam cloud would benefit this game as there are unlockables you keep after death. These are very minor though, like color changes and differant looking avatar's.

Ah. Well if the developer is open to suggestions, I'd suggest Steam Cloud syncing.

Yeah he seems like a nice guy from the screenshots i've seen of him. I also hope he continues to improve this gem.

Hey guys thanks for the suggestion, while this might not get prioritized over other things that need updating, I'll still consider it!

Thanks moppppin, and congratulations on the game's success. It's gotten a lot of good press and I can't imagine how exciting that must be.

If you don't mind some foldering and command lining (...I just came up with these), you can try this trick here:

It works with Downwell, as well as with any other cloud storage service except Dropbox (as long as it has a desktop client software, I use MEGA).

You can find the Downwell save files in the following folder:

C:\Users\<your little name>\AppData\Local\Downwell_v1_0_5

Chiming in to say that I also really would appreciate support for this! I'm greatly enjoying the game, and it'd be nice to easily access the palettes and styles I've unlocked on other computers than the one where I've played the most.

Really enjoyable and great game, btw! :D

Steam Cloud can be set up in a couple of minutes without any changes in the code, dev just needs to specify the save files location and enter byte quota in Steamworks.
