#save data guide

Saving and transferring data with Shimamatsu is SUPER easy, and here’s how to do it!

It should be the same for both iOS and Android. Just to be on the sure side though, use Chrome and not Safari or any other browser for this (since there have been issues before).

First off, go to the start screen!

Click on the right button (the left one is to clear cache).

The top button is to register your game data, which you do with the device you wanna save/back-up your data from.

The bottom button is when you want to retrieve game data, which you do on your other device that you wanna transfer the data to!

This screen is telling you - to sum it up - that you can continue playing with the same data after registerating data. Meaning, you don’t have to registrate/update you game like this several times (only once is enough) and you can continue playing the game on the same device even after registrating your data.

Once you click on the “Register” button (the yellow one at the bottom) it will take you to Marvelous’ website and let you pick an SNS to connect your data to. And once you’re done with that, you can “retrieve game data” on your other device (aka, the bottom button from the previous screen).

Now click on the yellow button.

Boom! You’re now on Marvelous site!

For... some reason it’s in English? I don’t know why, it’s not Google translating stuff, and I’m in Japan so uh...

As it says, you can connect your data to several SNS (social medias), not just one. I’m using Google+ so that’s what I picked! I don’t know if it looks differently for iOS users or someone who pre-registrated using another type of SNS.

And bo-boom! We’re done!

Now it should display your level and your island name. Underneath that it tells you that your data has been registrated for the above data, and reminds you not to forget your ID and password. If you get a different message than above (still displaying you level and island name though) it mean you’ve already backed up your data before and the backup was cancelled since it’s already up-to-date. But we still advice that you roll this backup from time to time since the game is prone to do rollbacks, meaning it’ll undo recent in-game actions like market purchases and harvesting. This might get fixed in a later patch (hopefully).

When you wanna retrieve your game data, you just click on the “retrieve game data” button (2nd image) and this will show up.

Click the bottom button (Retrieve game data) and it will take you to Marvelous again, choose the same SNS that you registrated your data on and you’re done!
