How Many Dudes? Cross-Platform Save Setup
Direct answer: cross-platform save is supported between the released Steam, Android, and iOS versions when you sign in through the cloud button on the main menu with the same Rumpus account on each device.
This path was stated by a Butterscotch Shenanigans developer in the 30 July 2026 launch announcement. The announcement confirms the setup path but does not document conflict-resolution rules, offline behavior, or a manual transfer procedure.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”- An official copy on each device you plan to use: Steam, Google Play, or the Apple App Store.
- One Rumpus account that you can sign into on every device.
- Access to the cloud button on the game’s main menu.
Setup steps
Section titled “Setup steps”- Open the released game on the device that currently holds your progress.
- From the main menu, select the cloud button.
- Create a Rumpus account or sign in to the account you intend to keep using.
- On the second device, open the released game and use the same cloud-button path.
- Sign in with the same Rumpus account.
- Before continuing a long session, confirm that the expected progress is visible.
Step 6 is a cautious verification step, not a developer-documented guarantee about synchronization timing.
What is verified—and what is not

|---|---|---|
| Does the full release support cross-platform saves? | Verified | Developer launch announcement. |
| Which released platforms were named? | Verified | Steam, Android, and iOS. |
| Which account is used? | Verified | Rumpus account. |
| Where does setup begin? | Verified | Cloud button on the main menu. |

If the expected save does not appear
Section titled “If the expected save does not appear”Do not delete local data, reinstall, or repeatedly overwrite saves based on an unverified workaround. Record the platform, game version, Rumpus account identity (without sharing passwords or recovery codes), and what each device displays. Then use the developer’s official support site for account or save-specific help.
