Do NOT buy

Great classic game, but if your running latest version of iOS, every screen causes crashes and freeze. Not support from publisher, don't bother wasting your money

Incremental Trading
     
by Midloman · February 1, 2014

I have enjoyed this game a lot but since IOS upgrade I can't trade or salvage in increments. This is a serious flaw in a trading game. It's still playable and combat seems unaffected. Also crashes if your status is criminal and you try to check status. Please fix then it's a 5 star. Iphone3gs, 4g & 5, ipad2 & 3.

Has potential but buggy

This game has some positive qualities, including the chance to pretend to be a spaceship captain, and some attractive (if two-dimensional) art. Some glitches detract from the experience, however. The slider bars for trading and banking don't work, making moving money around awkward. There were also frequent crashes to desktop. I'm guessing these issues won't be fixed any time soon, because when I went to the App Store and clicked on the publisher's link, it timed out. I'd advise waiting on purchasing this one until someone buys out Dead Jim Studios and resolves the game's problems.

Wanted to love it
     
by TheBluthBananaStand · March 11, 2014

I wanted to love this game as I was a fan of the palm version. However, this game is unfinished. It's buggy, things don't work, and it's missing important pieces (the ability to search for a planet). Save your money until the devs fix this horrible, horrible, horrible copy.

Super buggy

Can't even get a single bottom to activate

It doesn't work at all
     
by Flip Wilson Porktrout · May 26, 2015

I want a refund. Pondered for an hour on what game I wanted to purchase and decided to get DARK NOVA and it freezes up immediately. Won't let me do anything. I want a refund!

Love this game but
     
by Leidanni · April 14, 2014

I've had this game for forever and I absolutely love it... But the option to choose how much cargo doesn't work on my new phone... Also it does get a little boring after you get the bigger ships. I wish you would add some new quests or something. Please update! It's a great game, just needs a little work

Just like Space Trader for PalmOS
     
by jumex · October 5, 2013

This is a fantastic port of the one PalmOS game that cost me SO much in new batteries. Space Trader fans will not be disappointed!
