First, I love your platform and concept. Bellow I am commenting on my first take - i.e. me just running through the tutorial for the first time for a short time.

In Tutorial:
- Allow mouse click or any key to continue (don't specify return key)
- under "You are hungry now" did you mean to spell "Shoopkeep" or "Shopkeep"
- Don't say "Button 1, Button 2, etc" Specify the key. I have no idea in the beginning what Button 2 is.
- "Be carefull of not starving" should be "Be carefull not to starve". Better yet, say "Be carefull not to run out of food, you will lose hit points over time until you have gathered food" (or something like that)
- Menu controls are confusing, and I'm getting hung up inside them because I have no idea how to get out. ESC should always toggle between menu and closing any menu that is currently open.
- Just figure out that little be of confusion - Chat session opened up behind menu, so I couldn't tell what was going on.
- definitely default WASD controls in addition to arrow keys
- "Press Button Undefined for a new player." Need to define a default, then allow player to change it in game.
- Allow player to turn off music in game.
- Umm how do I eat?? I have it selected in the menu, but how do I do it? How do I talk to the shopkeep to buy food?
- ugh, hung up in menu again. It says "locked" in upper right. Man do I wish I could hit ESC.

Hi,

Thanks for the comments/suggestion/correction.
I'll take them into account.

Some (additional) remarks:
- In order to eat, you need to "open the menu", "select the food" (wheat or meat), and select "Eat" from the sub-menu that will open when you select the food.

- The locked in the upper right is an information about time. The time get locked in the tutorial, in the building mode and sometime in the survival mode (during the bosses for example).

The whole "button 1" constantly messes me up as well, just please have it say what the binded key is.

WASD default keys would be much better...i mean who uses the arrow keys anyway :P

More intuitive controls would definitely help. Binding to the Alt key in the web browser version is problematic because that takes you to the browser window.

It would be great if just clicking on something with your mouse opened an interactive menu for the possible actions to take there.
