firejail --private --appimage game.appimage can play the game without problem, but the game data will be lost if I exit the game.

Instead of --private use --private=/some/directory. The first one uses a temporary filesystem and all changes are discarded at the end of the session. The latter one uses the specified directory as your home directory, so the files inside there will be kept.
