Unfortunately, this is to get around a limitation with flash. If you don't click the flash game, then flash won't get any key presses, so forcing the player to click a button is just a way to ensure that they have clicked the game.
Nice game, pity about the shameless cashmongering. One of the few games I won't bother trying to get the cards on because of the punitive energy system. Rated 1/5 when it should earn 4 or 5.
Runs a little too slowly and is a little too easy. Just got to Mars at the end of day 4 on my second attempt. Thanks for the long-anticipated sequel, though!
