It seems that due a recent strange "security update" the .sol for the game was moved from the folder "pRotectoR-kONgRegate-1_0.swf" to the folder "Protector_Final_Secure.swf". If you want to get back your lost progress, just copy your .sol files to the new folder.
I do like the game, but I believe it's fine as it is - experience points and whatnot would just make it worse.. Multiplayer wouldn't be worth all the effort, too. Regardless, great game.
