I play on mobile and had this same issue at first. Turns out I'm (again, on mobile) able to click just to the right of the menu and drag it up to scroll down to the 'back' button (or whatever the button is called - I'm not in the game atm sorry).
Don't know if that helps you at all - just thought I'd throw it out just in case.
Upvote for being drenched BTW 👏🏻
