Saves on Atlantis Quest (casual games)

I finally reached level four. After trying for days I made it to level 4-2 and saved the game. If I don't make it through 4-3, when it asks if I want to save the game and I say no, will it go back to 4-2 (my previous save) or back to the beginning of the game. I would hate to have to start all over again. I know after several tries if you don't make it the game goes back to the first part of the particular level you're on. I would like to be able to save when I've made some progress and not have to always repeat the entire level when I fail one of the parts. I hope this makes sense. It's hard to explain.

Ladybug,

Let me move you to Hints forum.

Let's wait for a AQ gamer to help you.

I really can't answer that but I will tell you that if, before you start a new puzzle, you copy all the game files into a temporary folder on the harddrive then you can start again at that point if you fail to get the puzzle done by placing those files back into the game again.

Now, maybe I'm not clear here but let me know.

Thanks BillyBob. I was hoping there was an easier way of saving the game. It's very frustrating having to keep starting over at the beginning of level four. I made it to 4-4, but didn't finish that part in the alloted time, so I'm back to 4-l.

I don't remember how far I got but I wouldn't have made it that far without doing what I said about saving the game files to another folder. It's not really that difficult because you can drag them from one folder to another easily. A timed game is ridiculous, in my estimation so if I can defeat that timing business then I can at least enjoy the game itself.
