    running an instance of a game application at a first mobile computing device;

    identifying a second mobile computing device capable of synchronizing application state data with a cloud storage system operated by the distributed cloud operating system;

    confirming the second computing device is in a pre-determined group with the first computing device;

    receiving a signal that the instance of the game application stops running because the first computing device switching to a low power mode;

    transmitting, to the cloud storage system, application state data representing a game status when the instance of the game application stops; and
