Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

You need to make sure NUM LOCK key is ON to play the default controls. (If keypad 5 does not work to slide down ladders).

OR

You can remap controls by clicking on the CHECKMARK button on the right at the main menu.

Down doesn't work as I expected, (like HCYOBO said,) but number pad 5 is slide down ladders. So, 4,5,6,8 for movement, 7,9 for flames . but I expected a jump key for a Lode Runner game and I can't find one.

To save your game press Ctrl S, to load a saved game press Ctrl O.
Pressing F1 in game brings up a help screen with other keys (e.g. skipping levels).

I'm with Jess 31 Oct. 2019

Good question - I'm hoping for the same answer. Is there a way to save your spot without jumping ahead? If I remember correctly when I played this before, there is a short funny video clip every 15 levels to introduce a new weapon/device, but if you skip levels those movies are deactivated, so need a way to save the game on harder levels without starting over each time I turn it on.

On a Macbook early 2008, running Chrome, works just fine although the audio is a bit chopped - hey, it's an old Apple.
Yeah, needs to reconfigure the controls as Apple decided long ago it was a good idea to not have Home/End/PgUp/PgDown/Insert/Del keys.....

It works fine for me but the audio is bit-crushed to hell. The music is fine though.

Click the check mark on the right of the screen and you can change your control buttons. For instance this was written when for a full size keyboard and the down button is the 5. But you can configure it to use the AWSD keys instead where S is the down button. I suggest changing all of them so you can properly use your accessories as well. Good Running!

It plays on Chrome 65.0.x but I don't have a number pad on my laptop. Up/Left/Right arrows work as expected. Right zapper is PgUp, Left zapper is Home. But, I haven't found a down key which makes level 2 impossible.

How do you stop the music. Its annoying.

PSZZ 23 Sep. 2017

CONTROLS ARE ARROWS AND ON NUMERICAL PAD 7 AND 9 FOR LEFT AND RIGHT ZAPPER... HINT FOR NEW PEEPS: IF YOU'RE WALKING RIGHT, AND YOU ZAP 9... THEN YOU'LL CREATE A HOLE ON YOUR PATH. CONSIDER THIS ESPECIALLY WHEN BEING CHASED BY MONKS... THAT YOU'VE MADE YOURSELF A DEATH TRAP.
