Oh boy... more problems with the back button. Cory and I are discussing ways to 1) prevent this from happening ever again, 2) save our stranded players, and 3) force a reliance on software buttons in the dialog sequences that will help avoid mis-choice as well.
Stay tuned, we will try help!

Argh, you beat me! I was just confirmed the same thing.  What's this? New way to have speed competitions between CK players? Bring on a shared 'speed demons of CK' topscores board? ;D Seriously, we must have similar play styles. |

One thing you could do to rescue people is to have Mercer and/or Luka have a new dialog, only available after you reach 75 Fennian rep accusing you of cowardice, wasting their time and money, and telling you to get your ass over to BigDig. With no buttons needed.
These days I spend lots of time in the Tunnels beyond what it needed because the cash is easier to raise there. It would be nice to be yelled at for doing so, a bit. And it would provide added security for people who get stuck. I know somebody whose phone boots him out of any app he is in when the phone rings. Should he get a phone call at precisely the wrong time, I think he would be screwed no matter what fix you come up with. Ditto if your batteries run out precisely at the wrong time. It would be nice to have this final failsafe in place.
edit: after more thought.
And, well Brutal chars could have a Mars Squad come get you. Talk you into doing your duty, or fight you if you refuse. You wake up, stunned, in the NBZ? or maybe die there of your own greed? Cannot have those Brutal players getting off to a cushy -- lets have 40K in the bank to start -- NBZ experiences now, can we? (But it is a fine idea to let people playing with lesser difficulties come with all the cash they like...)

Ah, cruel of you! But interesting ideas. On the other hand, if they decide to allow people to go back into the tunnels later, they'd have to watch out for unwanted interactions with such solutions. |

We have a plan in mind and are putting it together for testing even now! Thanks grävling -- my original idea was inferior to your suggestion! It's in the works. |

ok -- everyone who is stuck in the Tunnels, a new update has arrived on Google Play and will arrive on Amazon soon that is designed to help you. Gravling's great suggestion is saving the day.
If you are "stuck" -- get Reputation up to 75. Then talk to Flynn. He will berate you for sticking around too long and tell you to go to the NBZ immediately via the Big Dig Taxi. Go there, and ask them for a ride up-top!

Anyone who's interested in testing for us, I feel like we've fixed a lot of the glitches with the dialog system. Back buttons, missed sections, activation of buttons under the dialog, ect.
Andrew and I put about two days of work into fixing all that code and testing on all our devices so if we missed anything we'd love to hear about it. Want it to be as close to perfect as the OS lets us.
