No, I don't. It's part of a self imposed challenge.

The option should be left up to the player. It is not a multiplayer game and me "save-cheating" doesn't affect anyone else. If you feel that it completely ruins the game, then don't do it. Leave me to my own devices.

Also, this game is built for Android which is centered around mobile devices. Like sdevaney said, some people can only play for five or ten minutes at a time like me. Disabling "save-cheating" would turn me and others in the same predicament off from ever playing the game. We would be unable to get anything accomplished in the combined total of one hour playtime we have a day because we have to keep repeating the same 5-10 minutes over and over again.

I do not want to read this anymore!
Edith says I should not be so hard! But I have explained this two times since it first came up in the last weeks and this is the shortest form and the last time.

Noone has to directly use the save function only to be able continue a game adter a break of any form.

And if the phone faults on load up?

The Existance of the current auto-save does not obviate the need for casual gamers to have a save anywhere function on a mobile device. It never has, and it never will.

As far as we know.

I'm just doing my best to keep a vocal few people from causing a fundemental change to this game that would impact my enjoyment of it.

This might happen but is not needed. All I try to say is, that you can resume play from where you left without saving, because there are people who just do not know this! I also do not want to have the possibility to save anywhere taken away.

Thank you but I am pretty new. I was looking for a game I could download off the internet instead of the Market because I'm in Afghanistan and found this game 5 days ago. I still haven't even made level 10 yet.
