Really enjoying the update!  The hacker powerups make things interesting!  I've been having a wonderful time playing.  The only bug I am seeing is that the export doesn't actually save it to the clipboard on your computer.  It seems to save it to some kind of internal clipboard that only works in the game.  You can't like paste your save to notepad for backup or anything.  Aside from that, the game is running fantastic!  You did a great job with this!

I'm really happy to hear that! And well noticed. The export feature works perfectly when used on my tests in html5, but for some reason on itch it refuses to work, and I can't find a workaround for it.
