Getting close!

• Added instructions page, when entails a whole new character: "Steve" the existentially-conflicted robot.
• Complete overhaul of the scene switching code, which you probably won't notice, except that it squashes the "stuttering audio" problem for good.
• Added settings for muting sounds. Currently, it mutes all sound, not music or FX independently.
• Price of gems fluctuates periodically. Watch out! They may even go negative sometimes.
• A new "Pause" menu during gameplay: ESC or hit the pause button in the lower right. 

New pop-up character interations during gameplay:

• "Steve" will give you instructions and tell you when gem prices change.
• Dugh complains about mine activations as well as mite deaths.
• The adbot will play parody ads. 
• Mell will let you know when you can afford a new ship.
