    Need to understand how to not have the game auto start until the player taps the screen on the game field screen. The game is a flappy bird style game but dont want it to auto-start as currently the players are dying as soon as they tap the "start game" from the Main Menu screen.
    Thanks

    Add a Start Menu:

    Tap on that inverted tree looking button:

    Then double click on the Main Menu to edit it:

    And then add a Start button by drag a button control onto the screen and set it as Start Game:

    Thanks and yep i have a start button on the Main Menu. The issue was that the game would start and the players could not hit the tap button fast enough and the character was falling too fast and dying. I fixed it by slowing down the character with Air Drag on the Y value so it would not drop so fast. Also made the first screen a bit easier for the player to start out and then increased the difficulty of the game in later screens.
    Thanks for your reply though.
