    Given that procedure, I'd say it is within the kill/recover app sequence of android that something is going wrong. Always exit the app when really being in either menu or play mode. Any mode where a card is selected or something like that, sounds dangerous. I can imagine it's very complicated to save and restore the exact state of an app. (Some apps therefore will just reopen in the main menu by default, which isn't the greatest user experience.)

    Another point is that some device work with the "home" bar overlaying the app (complete full screen) while others have the home button off the working area of the screen. I have the home bar as an overlay and I am not able to select both the play button and the home one in the same time. So I don't have this problem.

    In my case too actually, the home appears as an overlay, but you should still be able to do it by reproducing the technique described above, unless your phone software doesn't allow you to display the home icon while pressing something on the screen.

    Seems to be the bug is concerned with the UNIX timestamp. I changed the system date into the future (opening Tom Gold Run safes) - so possibly some scenes are saved with the timestamp greater than the current one.

    Every time I have built 16 levels, my next level will disappear while I am building it, and it will be changed to another level I have built before.

    I just want to ask: How to prevent it?

    So I made screenshots of my levels on my tablet but a major glitch happened. I had accidentally entered a level after the screenshot and when I exited, the level was replaced with another level I made a screenshot of. This happened a couple times (I got all my level screenshots thank goodness) but now some levels are gone. So just a caution guys.

    @The Sonic - Thanks for your post! We've seen this error before. I've thus moved your post into this thread where you can compare your experience against others and carry the conversation if applicable. Sorry that the app is currently no longer in development and thus a fix to these issues is unlikely.

    No problem. I can just download them and recreate them best I can if I choose to. Your game is still amazing and I love it

    I've just experienced my first card duplication/overwriting today. I've already saved an image of the level yet I want to tweak it. I was able to tweak it but upon pressing the share button after finishing it, I was shocked to see a duplicate level that's flashed instead of the sharing options.

    Looks like I have to duplicate the whole thing (and hope it won't be overwritten again) or share the original level card :cry::cry::cry:.
