I'm currently playing Case 13. I set the starter for "check the cargo", and let a few minutes lapse. I ran out of energy and returned to the game 3 hrs later. I found that the timer had not progressed and actually had to be reset. Also, I had to talk to the pilot twice, using up 2 stars. I love this game, and hope more cases are in production to be released soon! Actually I'm a big TeamLava fan!
