thanks for your feedback, we'll fix up the label. previously we had a kind of MNML tv where the latest games would be replayed in the background of the registration form, however many people complained at PAX this year that they were overwhelmed by seeing the gameplay without any introduction so we started adding more text. it's a wicked problem we're facing, thanks for your input!

It's definitely a balancing act. I'm not saying that all web games need to be dumbed down, but having built some myself “this game is too complicated” is pretty common feedback for anything that can't be picked up or shown to be intriguing within ~10 seconds. People are lazy. There's definitely a market for more in-depth browser games, though. https://bot.land/ https://bot.land/ might give you some ideas in case you haven't seen it yet. They allow guest players, and the initial walkthrough is excellent.
