I'm really happy to hear your suggestions and that you had fun with our very first game!
Due to the time limit, we had to cut on some ends; but once the GameJam is over we'll go definitely back and polish it a bit more. :D
(Anyways, you may skip the intro with the Space key, but we've somehow messed that up and 'gave' it a delay; which has gone unnoticed on the final playtest)
