Where Are Stick It to the Stickman Save Files Located?
Stick It to the Stickman keeps one MainSave.stk file in LocalLow, and its settings in the Windows registry instead of a config file.
Last updated
Free Lives' beat 'em up keeps things tidy: a single save file called MainSave.stk in a GameData folder under LocalLow. Progress, unlocks, and campaign state all live in that one file, which makes backups easy and edits risky.
Settings took the other road. They sit in the Windows registry under HKCU\Software\Free Lives\Stick It To The Stickman, not in a config file beside the save. A folder copy restores your game but not your keybinds and options, so export the registry key too if you want both halves. Steam Cloud covers the save file, with roughly 9.5 MB of space.
Where Stick It to the Stickman stores this, by platform

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Free Lives\Stick It To The Stickman
Settings and keybinds, not progress. Export the key from Registry Editor for a manual backup; it never travels with the save folder.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Stick It to the Stickman?
Copy the GameData folder with MainSave.stk inside, then export the registry key under HKCU\Software\Free Lives\Stick It To The Stickman. The folder covers progress, the key covers settings.
Can I keep more than one save file?
No. The game reads one MainSave.stk, so duplicating it in place does nothing. Rename and move the original if you want to hold a checkpoint before a risky run.
Does deleting the registry key reset progress?
No. The registry key holds settings and binds only. Your run lives in MainSave.stk under LocalLow, so a registry cleanup costs configuration, not progress.
