Progress and saving

SlimeSmash saves your levels, coins, pets and achievements so you can pick up where you left off.

How saving works

• Cloud save. Progress is saved to the cloud so it can sync across your devices. This is why the game uses an online player identity.
• Offline play. If your connection drops, the game keeps your progress and syncs it when you are back online.
• Two devices, one account. If both devices changed your progress, the game reconciles the two saves rather than overwriting one.
• Encryption. Saves have been encrypted since version 1.1.1. Progress was reset once as part of that upgrade.
• Cloud protection (2.0). If the game cannot read your cloud save, it does not treat that as “no save”, and it uploads nothing over your cloud save until it has read it successfully. Failed reads are retried.
• Automatic migration (2.0). Your 1.x saves and your Waves and Defense records move to the new save format automatically when you update. Saves that cannot be verified are kept for recovery instead of deleted.

What is saved

Your Adventure level, coins, pets, equipped pet, discovered slimes, mission and daily reward progress, records and settings. Since 2.0 your Casual and Defense records and your Defense checkpoint are saved to the cloud too.

Save frequency

The game uploads to the cloud at most once every 30 seconds so it does not drain battery or data.

Two saves, one choice

If the device and cloud saves differ, a panel shows each one’s level, coins and slimes discovered and asks which to keep. The other is replaced, so check carefully. See Accounts and sign-in.

Protecting your progress

• Keep the game updated. Earlier versions had save bugs that were fixed in v1.0.2 and v1.0.10.
• Connect to the internet now and then so your progress reaches the cloud.
• Uninstalling without cloud sync, or wiping your device, can lose progress. The Terms cover this.
