Hi,

When loading the game yesterday on the Kindle I saw the desktop version of the site. (Which required me to scroll around the browser to play) which worked fine. Today's version is picking up the responsive design. I.e. the mobile view.

I would like to say the mobile view looks good. But when attempting to use, the game pages such as the planet view appear too large and the CTAs at the bottom of the page are overlapped by the menu bar. In another example I cannot send a bug report.

Also the menu when opened is cut off by the menu bar.
Also when enlarging the galaxy chat to maximum you cannot minimise it as the button is off the screen.

Using a kindle fire HD (latest version) using the silk browser

ahh ya I set it where it supports screen size of at least 600px in width. Only supports portrait at the moment. Didn't think any 7 inch tablets had a screen size smaller than that.

Will it not let you zoom out?
Can you try google chrome browser by chance?

chrome is not on this kindle app store. Nor is Firefox.

However silk is a version of chrome I think. Version 33 I think.

No you cannot zoom out. The overlays are fixed to the mobile layout.

That's strange it should let you zoom out. There is nothing on the page that should be preventing you to do so. Are you able to zoom in just curious?

Check in your browser options to see if you are overriding zooming options.
if not try both settings.

Yes, looks good now. Menu is rendering correctly, windows have scroll bars, Can see planet names etc. However I'll do a full check when I am in bed.
