Yes, I normally hit the space bar but now I am using the options button to be safe.
I rarely leave it running even on slow as I hate to miss things going on and I also want to get the collectibles.

In the game I started to replace the one with the apprentice parent, I have already got half of the feathers, shells and coral, and within the first 10 minutes of playing! Now I am in a 'dry' spell!
Poor kiddie will get sick soon from being zoomed around to keep looking.
The other kiddie is my Chief!

In the tribe it replaced I had only managed to get about half the collectables and finished the game and was just playing on to get the awards.

In my other tribe, the magic faction, I have completed 2 of the collections, the coral and the turtle-shells. And I was able to raise my population by 5 each time.
Again the actual game part is complete but I am going for the awards in particular the 90 year old plus.

(Sorry I do waffle a bit!!)
