Excellent game, love the aesthetics and the choice of bgm. Unsure how to make it save theme unlock/points progress on my GBA SP though

Thanks! It should save automatically at certain points in the game. What type of cartridge do you use? The game uses flash memory but my cart auto converts that to a file. 

I’m using EZ-Flash Omega

Hi sorry for the delay, I have uploaded a new build named 1.1 S which uses SRAM for saving which is more common. Could you try that out and let me know if it works?

Thank you so much! That made it work for me!
