Thank you for the feedback and detailing your experience with the game! Had been working on a ton of stuff for the next update to release after the jam rating period is over so I took awhile to reply! (Sorry!)
1. Ah, I was struggling with whether to make the game harder or not. In the coming updates, the game will be more challenging. Storages and a revamp on how settlers work will add more gradual growth I hope, so it will not be as easy to build so far ahead of the storm!
If you mean the time counting down to the next storm is slow, I agree! I will be shortening the duration for the first storm in the very next update. And will also make it such that after every storm, the peace duration will get shorter and shorter!
2. Card generation slows down in time - they can be combatted with workshops, but in the next update, this "slow-down" will be reduced after every storm to make it more balanced!
3. In the next update, the character will say 'oops' when he falls into the sea, and once I add achievements, one will be granted :) Embrace the 'bug'! XD
