Common questions

Do I have to watch ads?

No. The only ad in Dave is an optional rewarded video on the death screen that gives you a free continue if you choose to watch it. There are no banners and no interstitials, and all 100 levels can be finished without ever watching one. See the privacy policy for what Google AdMob receives when you do.

Does Dave need an internet connection?

No. The entire game is bundled inside the app. You can play all 100 levels in airplane mode. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is uploaded.

Where is my progress saved?

On your device only, using the operating system's standard app storage. It is never sent anywhere. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

How do I move my progress to another device?

Open Options → Cloud Save. The game generates a text code representing your progress and copies it to your clipboard. Paste that code into the same screen on the other device. The code travels however you choose to send it — it is not uploaded to any server.

How do I erase my data?

Options → Erase Data wipes all local progress immediately. There is nothing stored off-device to delete.

I'm stuck on a level.

Every level is guaranteed reachable — spawn to key to exit is verified automatically for all 100 levels. Look for ladders, wall-jump shafts and breakable walls hiding secret rooms. If you die repeatedly, the checkpoint system will keep you close to where you fell.

The controls feel unresponsive.

Dave runs at a fixed 60 FPS timestep. If the game stutters, try closing background apps. If it persists, email us with your device model — that is exactly the kind of report that gets acted on.
