Fn+A worked for me but the next time I opened the game, my save wasn't there.

After quite a lot of tries, I reached the following conclusion:

To save you have to:
1 - Go to Options -> Save and Type a name for your game
2 - Press (and keep pressed) the three keys on the left side of the keyboard (control + function + shift)
3 - With the three keys still pressed, press and hold "S" and press "A" (You'll finally have 5 keys pressed at the same time ).

Worked fine for me

And Anyone has idea if it is possible to play multiplayer (different mobiles) via bluetooth/wi-fi/internet or anything? That would be so great,

Thanks,

I was a little bit mistaken,

The correct keys to be pressed (important to be in this order) are:
1 - Ctrl (press and hold)
2 - Function [The blue arrow] (press and hold)
3 - "A" (press)

And the game should be saved

My saved games (as well as my keyboard settings) still disappear every time I close the game...

That kinda sounds like the save file has bad permissions (e.g. you can't write it for some reason). It should be in the ~/.opentyrian directory, if you want to take a look.

Yeah, as long as I run the game from the root prompt, I can write to the save and config files but if I try running it from the shortcut in the app menu they won't take.
