"Next ship" button placement is awkward

[sgbeal]

Hi, guys,

i find the placement of the "next ship" button to be really awkward. It's the only thing my hand has to do in the top/left of the screen, and yet my (right) hand is in front of the screen when i press it, so i can't see the ship without moving my hand away from the (very tiny) button. So my hand is back and forth and back and forth just so that i can see the result of having pressed it.

It would seem to be much more comfortable if the button were along the left or right side (either one would suit me) - somewhere within a thumb's reach.

That's the only thing about the UI which just really doesn't sit right with me.

Thanks for the game, by the way .

I just keep missing the button and accidentally making things move!

Thanks for the suggestions, perhaps we will move it into a corner.

eskimoform - you are double tapping the button?

I am missing it once, selecting where the current selected ship will move. Then I try to hit it again and miss, and the ship goes vroooom.

LOL - i have no doubt! The first thing i thought when i finally found the button which i knew should be there but couldn't find in any sensible place was, "oh, they certainly already have that one somewhere on their TODO list."

Take your time - i'm sure there are higher-prio bugs (but i haven't yet any to report!), and i know you guys have enough work lined up (or at least conceived of) to last you three lifetimes already.
