Well done. Very addictive! Enough for me to decide that it's time to round the workweek off. I'll fetch an Orval[1] and immerse myself in the game.

(the collision detection seems to be a little off, but it's hardly noticeable.)

Could you comment a bit on the APIs you used, what worked well, and potential pitfalls?

Only the Canvas JS API. Everything worked pretty well.

Only HTML5 Audio is a bit buggy thats why you can hear the looping not being smooth. Plus loadeddata support is kinda weird in Safari.

Apart from that it was pretty good, I am planning on making more games :) also I'll be posting most of the experience and information on my blog http://codetheory.in

You NEED to make a iOS version of this game. You will make ALLOT of money.

Now loads of people have asked me to do that. I am definitely gonna take a look at ejecta although it would be cool if some ios/android guy gets in touch with me. :)

I need to do some research on this topic.

The collission detection being off was done on purpose to make the gameplay less harder - I have mentioned that in the description below.

Wow you can die going to high, that ruined my long run.

Gravity seems a little strange to me.
