How do you save your game?

[FroBodine]

We played the whole first level (or what we thought was the whole first level), saved all the citizens from the truck that was falling off the road, collected the four special blocks and completed the first level. We got the level end screen, where it shows our scores.

But, when we quit and continued, we were back to the beginning of this section, where the dad was stuck under the machine, and we had to rescue the citizens all over again.

How the heck do you save your game? Or, if it is checkpoint based, how do you know when the game has been saved? I thought the game would automatically save after beating the level, but apparently not.

This is very frustrating. Thank you in advance for any help!

It should of auto saved, the auto save icon is Jack Jack on the left side of your screen.

Ok. I think I just didn't play far enough past the first area to get to the save.

Pause the game then select "Quit Game," then select "Save And Exit."

[FroBodine]

Hmm . . . ok. I'll try that. I don't remember seeing that option, though. Does it let you save your progress at any time? Even in mid-level, so you can come back to the exact spot you saved during the level?

[Surviva 777]

No, that's the only option at the moment.

[FroBodine]

Now you're confusing me. I'll just play some more and see if I can figure it out. You said you could quit game and select save and exit to save. Then you say, no, that's your only option. What option? I'm confused.

Anyway, I'll figure it out.

It should save at every checkpoint as well as after completing a level or Crime wave and also whenever you get a gold brick.

If you quit it should put you at your last checkpoint (you didn't complete the level you were on or if it didn't save) , the New Parr's residents (after you beat the game) or where you were put after the last level (for hub world mission segments).

What I meant was that Quit game and save and exit was the only option to save the game but Grand now says that a checkpoint in a level saves your progress the next time you go into the level which I didn't know at first, but now I know.
