Where Are Move or Die Save Files Located?
Move or Die is LOVE engine with saves in AppData and config in the install tree, plus XDG paths on Linux and Steam Cloud.
Last updated
Move or Die runs on the LOVE engine, so storage splits two ways. Unlocks and progress live in AppData under a LOVE folder. Launch config sits as startup.ini inside the install directory.
That split means partial backups fail silently. Take both the AppData folder and note any install edits for a complete move. Steam Cloud mirrors saves for hands off safety. The Mac build is 32 bit only, so modern macOS cannot run it at all.
