Playing the game

OK - maybe I'm just plain stupid, but I can't figure out how the hell to play this game. The game starts and I can click on the map to scan areas, but I have no idea what to do next. Is there any kind of help/manual that lists the controls? Does anyone have any kind of basic play guide? I've tried the tutorial, but it doesn't appear to be functioning yet.

The game rules are available here: http://www.mohawkgames.com/2014/06/16/offworld-rules/

You should be able to found a colony but selecting a type ("Expansive") and then clicking on the map. What went wrong with the tutorial?

I've found the games rules, but what are the interface controls? Should they show on the screen? If so, they are not.

The tutorial is running - the time is advancing, but I'm not able to do anything - once again, there aren't any controls visible.

I have 2 machines - 1st is 64-bit Vista with 6GB RAM, 1GB GT450. 2nd is 64-bit-W7 with 8GB RAM and Intel on-board graphics which is using 1.5GB of RAM.

OK - Sorry for being stupid. The game is working on my W7 machine, but because of the onboard graphics, there is a lag between the mouse and the graphics rendering. On this machine, everything is working, including the tutorial. I do however have a couple of questions:-

1) Are there video options for various monitor sizes?

2) Are there any minimum requirement specs? I'm asking because the game still does not play on my Vista 64-bit machine.

I might suggest using the forums that were included in your welcome email.  That is where most folks who are playing are hanging out. :)
