See all below on the saga of issues... Review 3: well, playing along, having fun, achieving good rankings on the Federation board... And for some reason got nailed as a cheater again and locked out. I was not cheating! Honestly, I don't know how one could considering the game requires an internet connection to the company's servers. Maybe someone didn't like me being at the top of the weekly boards, which was from nothing more than checking in regularly? After all that building and work. No way I can find to contact support. I'm angry and to be blunt there are other games I can play for stress relief (although I loved the space theme). Because of this nonsense my rating for this game has gone from a good one to a one-star. Review 2: For the last 2 weeks I've received this when trying to open the game: Maintenance. Server maintenance, please check back later." This occurred just before the two app updates (which were only about a week apart). I've kept the app updated but the game still won't connect to the server. So, right now it is impossible to play the game. Another worry: the last two app updates mention punishing cheaters. Not sure what kind of cheater they are talking about as this game can only be played with an internet connection (obviously changing the device clock won't work). Just before I began getting the Maintenance error I noticed a new glitch of the game where buying new facilities and upgrades were not deducting from my coin balance. Because I can't find a support site or email I cannot let them know of the issue. Now I'm hoping they aren't defining this as "cheating" and blocked me out. Hey guys, that issue wasn't my fault! Is anyone else getting the game to load right now? And please provide a way for your players to get in contact with you! Review 1: I finally figured out the problem: The game window does not take up the full screen on an iPhone 6. It's literally half an inch smaller from the top and right. HOWEVER, the touch area acts is as if the game is full screen. So to touch any part of the game, for instance a factory or a coin floating past, I have to estimate how far to the top-right I have to tap. Often I estimate this wrong and accidentally select something else instead. If it weren't for this glaring problem for iPhones I think this game would have better reviews. I hope the developers will soon fix this problem, at which point I will update this review and star rating. As for the game itself, this has been great fun. A science fiction setting with plenty of production and selling to balance. The weekly board challenge and ability to buy and sell with others is a nice touch. I do wish there were more variety in graphics for the arriving traders, but that is a small thing. One other issue is that about 40% of the time after watching an ad the game crashes. When this happens no crystals are awarded. However, I find it still worth a try for the other 60% successes as it's hard to progress in the game without the crystals. I'm glad the developers created a way to earn them other than having to buy them with real money.
Could be great, but instead...

... it's broken. Most of the time I try to play the load times keep recycling the same minute and never load. Totally frustrating. Seems like it would be a great game... If it worked properly.
Resolution screwed up

Newest iOS iPhone 6s doesn't load up correctly. The screen is 80% filled with a black border and you can't click on icons.
Complex enough to overcome some of the ftp problems

The game quickly grows to a scale that the individual timers are not as annoying, as you are manipulating so many different mechanisms that there is always something to do. A decent space merchant game.
