Save Games

If you want to save your game so you can continue it later, when you are about to quit your game, click "Yes, save and quit". That way, the Continue Saved Game button will be available in the main menu, and clicking it will continue your saved game. You cannot save a game in the unregistered version of Atomica.

Atomica only allows one save game at a time, so if you try to save another game, the current save game will be overwritten.

You can also edit some values in the save game using a hex editor:
 * The level number: Before the 00 00 00 at the end of the file, the level number will be shown in hex (example: 25 will show level 37 on the level counter). You can use this to pretend you are on a higher level or to trick your friends. If you set the value higher than 63, it will show 99 on the level counter, but the ending screen/level complete screen will show the correct level number. The other 00's at the end of the file are for higher places for the hex digits. The highest "level" you can get to is 2147483647 (the highest 32 bit signed integer). It is possible to get to negative levels too, but the counter will show a single digit and under it is a cut off piece of magnet (might be the negative sign).
 * You can also change the number of colors and spawns in a level. If you set the value higher than 0C for the colors, there will be random atoms that either crash the game or display a weird image. If you set the value higher than 47 for the number of spawns, the board will be full, and the next move will make some molecules or give a game over.
