Warp screen is blank on galaxy s3 Also no way to buy goods.

Good

Woefully bad interface completely ruins it. Search for "Space Trader" to find two games which are free and do this exact thing a million times better.

K70%
by K####:

The game is what you make of it but it's easy to get invested and drawn in to your character arc. Given some decent graphics this would be stupendous and really it's the only thing that lets it down. I'd pay more if this was revamped and expanded.

Very lame

Port of Space Trader for $4 that needs this much work? Barely playable? Nah... see ya.

I love this much

P70%

You can't do any fights missions or upgrades so it does not give you a good idea for the game.

Just as good as I remember it from the Palm space trader game! Upgraded to the full version!

U70%

I can not buy or sell anything. Got frustrated because the start of a fame should not be like this, and uninstalled

T70%

And hard to uninstall. The worst Android program I ever saw.

Not going to comment on the inability to save current game. Will point out took less than 37 seconds to crash first time started. Galaxy ace

D70%
by D####:

Good stuff. Would love a game like this, mixed with some rpg first person. Fly around, land, but be able to actually walk around and explore a tad on all types of worlds. Hopefully bungies new game will be like that... Fingers crossed.

Seems to easy and the full version is too expensive. Might pay a buck or two for the full version but definitely not four bucks.

B70%
by B####:

However, I think only allowing the two smallest ships in the game isn't really enough to evaluate whether or not one would like to spend $3.99 on it.

T70%
by T####:

Identical game play as the palm pilot version I loved. But, they've made a horrifically ugly game with poorly illustrated backgrounds on every screen that makes legibility almost impossible. Add a poorly organized control scheme, and it seems like esthetic game design was an afterthought here. I would love to play this game but it is just too ugly.

As previously mentioned the game is too limited on the light version and im not going to pay £2.54 just so i can have the ability to buy a ship with a laser, as thats all your paying for the ability to fight back and the removal of the nag screen telling you to buy premium! When playing the lite version there are a few things that will happen. 1. You start to travel get shot go KABOOM! 2. You flee and get to flee another day 3. You buy the second ship, escape pod, shield and cloaking device and keep trading but that gets boring after 5minutes. Full version is worth probably £1 for what the game is at the moment and lite version needs to let you test out the game more as for now though im removing the game its boring.

I'm a fan of the Escape Velocity series (Mac/PC space trading/fighting/exploring games) and out of all the other apps in the market right now, this game is the most similar. I like it a lot and plan to buy the full version when it's time to upgrade my ship. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S and occasionally if I click on an event in a planet my screen will dim and nothing will happen. Turning my phone's display on/off helps so that is a minor bug but doesn't ruin the game at all. Great job!

This is pretty much like the version I had on my Palm Pilot back in the day! Thanks for being me back to the good 'ol days! That being said - it would be nice to have some more options available to better test out the environment. Also...$4?! That seems a little steep for the full version. :-

This is a fun little game. All users should try lite games before buying full games. This is a game that works well on my pantech. I look forward to playing full game.

App hasn't been updated in a couple years. User interface does not scale well at all to larger screens. Full version is over priced for an Android game, that hasn't been updated in two years.
