It works fine on Nexus 5 (it also loaded promptly the first
time). I lost to the AI a couple of times before I tried to play
multiplayer, but gave up after waiting a couple of minutes for
another player to come online.

You should be getting an android notification once some else wants to play (if there is no bug ^^). Right now both players need to be online simultaniously. Next release is going to change that.

No worries, the application (in addition to these posts) for dconf will be there on time ;)

Sounds like it was just Mono JITing the game's assemblies. (Although on some platforms, Unity does AOT compilation - I forget whether Android is one of those.)

Or maybe it was Dalvik JITing Mono itself, but I would think most of mono was written in native C/C++ code, so I dunno. Do you know if you've run any Unity-built program on the device before?

For me, the part you describe only took about a couple seconds the first time (Galaxy S3). What device were you using? I'm curious because I'm using Unity, too (albeit with Nemerle instead of C#, but still).

I don't think i've ever run anything using unity before. Also, I'm on an Intel AZ-210 so it's x86-android, which probably means quite a few untested corner-cases for unity and other libs.
