You can save game data by using any number of apps in the Play Store.  For some reason I have never had game data saved during a restore.  But, you should keep apps on the phone and not the SD...some data is stored on the SD, but the apps themselves should be on the internal memory.  Also, you can plug the phone into the PC and copy/paste the folders from the SD to the PC, then you can transfer them back to the SD if it is formatted.
