This is the only game for android that works purely on a touchscreen basis which Ive liked. You create a character by choosing a background and a starting nationality, which give different bonuses, and then proceed to make a name for yourself in the sector, be it through legirimate trading, smuggling, piracy, or bounty hunting. Very entertaining.

Just started playing this when I was bored with my phone, not a bad time waster.

It isn't fantastic but isn't terrible either. The combat is... unintuitive. Half the time I don't understand what just happened.

Star Trader is not new to mobile platforms. I played it on my iPaq PocketPC and Palm.

I have had it for a while but don't play it often because:

1) it is not a quick casual game

2) it sucks down the battery on my Thunderbolt

As a disclaimer, I'd like to add that my android device is not a phone, but a tablet.
