Yep, download the new APK, update without uninstalling.
When you uninstall you lose your savegames.
No problem with removing the old version after we do that and play the new update for the first time, I assume?
If you mean deleting the old APK, sure.
But if you’re updating on android, the new version will install itself on top of the old one.
But on computer, yeah don’t worry. Usually the engine makes a save separate from the game’s files.
Great, thank you.
