💾 Updating save data from earlier versions

• If you've been playing recent Early Access versions of the game then your save data and leaderboard scores will carry over to v1.0 automatically.
  
• If you last played before v0.27.0 (April 2021) then unfortunately your old save data will be incompatible with the latest version. The game will automatically delete your saves and start afresh. Regrettably, there was no way to preserve this old data as the structure of the game code changed too much during development.
  
• Steam Cloud was enabled recently. If you were playing the game on multiple PCs before 9th October you may need to resolve cloud save conflicts. Steam will prompt you when you start the game.
