I think like this would be helpful for all the games on this site, being able to login your armor games account on the game so it saves your data that way.

By doing this, when you switch computers you dont have to restart over on games.

For exampel I play Age of Defense 3 at school everyday but when i come home to play it I'll be on a different level, with less updates or less progress. By logging in the game i could save progress made on other computers so i wouldnt have to regain updates/levels.

What do you all think?
This could also be a good way to make highscores for that game by saving points earned onto armor games accounts.

Certain site-specific games such as the Crush The Castle series have already implemented this feature in some way, so that all your progress is saved onto your account just as long as you're logged in.

I don't know the details of the coding, so I wouldn't be able to tell you just how difficult it is to do this with pre-made games, but so far it's only been very popular games that get this feature added, so I'm guessing it wouldn't be a cakewalk to add this feature to every game.

There's already flash games that have this like Shell Shock Live or Exit Path like Ernie15 said.

Games that have this feature: EP, Castaway 2, Crush the Castle series, and Shell Shock Live. BTW, this is not even close to a complete list.

Yes I know it would be hard to add it to all games but maybe most games with 9.0+ rating?

Well from the way i see it, the only games that have this feature implemented into it are ones that are sponsored by Armor Games.

There are certain games with a rating that high that don't require this feature. In Colony, for example, progress is saved onto a separate account that you create in the game. In some other games, you don't even need to save your progress.

And of course, if there happens to be a very popular game with a rating lower than 9.0 (not a common occurence, but still possible nonetheless) that needs this feature, the developers may not make the exception.

We have about 20 games that currently do this. Unfortunately it's totally at the discretion of the game developer, so if you see a game that doesn't do it, contact the game developer and tell him to implement it.

As a company, we've made it possible. The rest of the work is on the game devs.

Since we don't have the source code for most of the games on the site, we can't do the work ourselves, it's up to the people who made the games in the first place.
