There's (apparently) an issue with the android build where the menu won't show up as it should. I'm not sure what causes it, and it seems to not be consistent from person to person. The "show basic menu" thing SHOULD be a crude fix, which should allow you to access a basic version of the menu on mobile devices by tapping it. I hope it works, but I'm not entirely sure if it does. I don't have an android device myself and emulators can be finicky, so... well /shrug
I'll just hope it works! If you haven't tapped on it already, please do. If it doesn't... er, if you can play it on computer, please do :-D
