Thanks to all who have commented / reviewed so far!
Note: Some users have noted that Unknown is unable to save progress with iPad and iOS 8. We are looking into this.
In order to get multiplayer sessions up and running we propose everyone who is interested in playing multiplayer attempt to Join or Host a session on Thursdays at 20:00 CET.
Note: We have seen a number of reviews that refer to Unknown as something else, while we certainly enjoy all the nice reviews we just want to point out that Unknown is nothing other than a remake, it is not any other game. We would also like to see some reviews on how the multiplayer functionality works as we haven't been able to test this other than in a small scale locally.
Note: There presently is no manual (we're working on it), but there are many resources online for similar games. For instance, search for "space trader flight manual"..!
Note: Some have been asking how multiplayer works -- Just go to Multiplayer -> Quick Match (or Custom Match) and try joining a game (if there is any available)!

GREAT GAME!

My brother and I were searching apps and this one had amazing graphics. Doesn't deserve to be free. It should be 99¢.
Very confusing.

There are no instructions anywhere on how to play this. It is very frustrating doing anything...
More lame then cool

As a classic Space Trader fan, I see this as someone tried too hard to make a simple fun game. If this was like the real Space Trader then play would be simple enough. This game has no instructions & it's not like Space Trader so you spend your time accidentally warping of to who knows where till you get there. I'm still not sure how to look at values on other planets. My suggestion is make a game that plays like the real one or if you want to make up your own game, then include instructions so the rest of us can join you in your game.
Classic cassette tape game from the 80s

For those that don't know anything about this game it is a classic game known as Elite. It is simple to play and if you spend like ten minutes on google you might find instructions.
This is Elite!

This is what I've been waiting for since 2007, when I switched from Palm (Space Trader) to iPhone! Heck, since my Apple ][ days! This is the purest of all space simulation games. It is, and always will be, the one. Until Airheart for iOS comes along...:) I wonder why there's no reference to Elite in the Description...?
Good gameplay

Overall, good port of Elite 80s game. Would give it 5 if it included missions as it does get monotonous once you've got tons of money.
It's all there but..

Controlling the ship in combat is horrible. Other than that it's great.
Elite for iPhone!

Wonderful clone of Elite, an old game from the 80's. Plays very well with few bugs. However, with reversed controls the lasers will not stop firing, and I wish this were fixed. Aside from such minor issues, an amazing game.
