Thank you for the kind words! Yes I wanted to add an intro/tutorial scene where you gather and deliver somthing and then the whirlpool comes and you flee and the real game starts. Instead I kind of last minute smashed some pictures and text in a how to play menu :D Also I agree that you have to feel the progression more. During the last 2 houres I focused mainly on bug fixing and trying to get better browser performance.
PS: It's very funny that you even choose the same Game title^^
