Why can't I start a game – Optia Review

Update2: FYI– to return to an already completed level from the "levels" menu, you have to tap the tiny little colored dot at the right side of that level's title bar. I don't know why it's not possible to just tap anywhere in the area of the level name, but this kind of unexplained and super-fussy interface stupidity is mostly Apple's fault, since they stopped enforcing the iOS UI minimum tap-target size requirements long ago. Some developers also like to get cute with their UI's in this way and then make things worse by not having a help menu, for example, this app. Explaining this annoying quirk is the least I can do. Be prepared to tap and tap and keep tapping away, trying to hit the one special pixel in that teeny colored dot just so… you'll get it eventually. Think of it as one more puzzle to solve! Update: My phone wouldn't sync properly and so I had to restore it from a backup. Once it was restored, Optia worked just like it's supposed to. Unfortunately, all of my progress was erased and the advanced levels were locked. If you've encountered a similar problem, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I wish I had tried this before my stupid phone went blooey and required resetting… it might've saved all my progress. -------- Just updated this the other day and now it won't let me play at all. I can see the levels menu but nothing works to start playing. What happened?
