When minimized the app goes into 'pause' -even mid battle. Also, they've added a 'bookmark' feature which is a single-load save anywhere. so when you have to go, you can bookmark without finding a save point (just not mid battle). If your party dies, you cannot reload the bookmark point. you can't bookmark and continue, its bookmark & exit to main menu - i guess think of it as a longer term pause? where state is saved in your save game list?
