1.5.0 is live on Android, and it is the update I should probably have shipped ages ago.

Driftbound now backs your pilot up to your own Google account, so a lost or replaced phone no longer costs you your progress.

It backs up on its own, in the background, whenever you leave the game. There is a "Back up now" button and an off switch in Settings, Cloud saves.

A restore only ever happens if you ask for one and If you install on a new phone and there is a pilot waiting, the game tells you who it is, what level, and how long you have played, and you decide. It will never quietly overwrite the game on the device you are holding.

The other half: 34 achievements now show on your Google Play Games profile, from your first kill through to the deep end of the Undertow and the Deep Run.

Those are the same lifetime achievements the Trophy Cabinet has always tracked, so everything you have already earned counts. On your first launch after updating you will probably get a burst of Play Games popups for achievements you won weeks ago. That is not a bug, it is the game finally telling Google about them.

While I was in there I rebuilt all 34 medals as proper pixel art. The old ones were smooth gradients, which is not the same thing at all, and three of the kill medals were rendering as literally the same image.

Two honest caveats. This is Android only, because Play Games has no iPhone equivalent, and iOS is still waiting on Apple for 1.3.5. And the cloud save lives in your own Google Drive app folder, which means I cannot see it, which is how it should be but does also mean I cannot recover it for you.

As always - it's available here: [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.driftbound.game](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.driftbound.game)
