- Its FAQ warns that browser cleanup can erase locally stored progress and notes which games offer save exports.
Field notes
The FAQ treats save management as part of the genre’s practical learning curve: progress lives in the browser, and clearing browser data can erase it. It names Cookie Clicker, Kittens Game, and Trimps as offering text-based save exports. The site also says it revisits its reviews after meaningful updates or reader reports, rather than treating the game list as fixed.
