Hey, thanks for reading that whole spiel of mine! Having Slitherss read feedback seems like it'd be fun, perhaps you should do that with all of your user suggestions.
I'm glad that you're considering a lot of the feedback the folks on here are putting forwards. As you say, the game is still early in development, and it makes sense that you'd want to iron out game fundamentals before adding loads of story content. Just don't let all of the suggestions overwhelm you. :p
