Silly that there isn't a way to move forward once you've completed the mission. I have to wait till the time is up. I don't like to waste my time waiting for the apps timer to elapse. If you fix it, I'll give you 5 stars. Just make the objective clickable to move forward.

Hi David, thank you for your feedback! The designers decided to make this action unavailable as you have to survive until the very end - which means, keep on exploring cards and fighting enemy ships. But don't worry, it's very difficult to uncover all cards before the timer ends, especially from Mission 2 onwards! We hope you'll still have fun :)

It simply does not work on my phone! Get to the first mission and the sand never runs out. I don't see any cards just some traffic screen.

Hi MrPJ, sorry to hear that! Keep in mind the sand timer is around 15 minutes so the sand goes down REALLY slow. Cards are shown only during Mission Configuration but once the sandtimer starts, the gameplay is focused on the ship and the board. If you still cannot play, remember you can try the game on an Android Emulator (such as BlueStack) on pc.

The app is good but desperately needs a link to a website explaining all the cards and how to work with them. The RULEBOOK sucks!
