I love how the instructions are presented one at a time each time you start a new Silk. It's subtle and it's great as I can immediately get started and each time I do it again I have a new feature to play with.

Thanks! That was exactly the idea.

It looks like I need to reposition the New link, though -- lots of people are simply refreshing and missing the hints.

Several nice bits of design inspiration on this site.

The replay button reminds me of the Achron game (an up-coming Meta-Time RTS). Basically, you can start drawing, then press Replay and draw some more on the replay, and then press Replay again... looks amazing :D. Nice work :).

Absolutely gorgeous. Will be interested to see how our iOS version goes. I'm not sure if it will be of any help, but I have written an interaction "helper" library that is designed to make handling mouse and touch events consistent. If it is something that is useful, then let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

$(function() { if ($.browser.msie) // Sorry, I tried. && $.browser.version What was the deal breaker in IE9, out of curiosity?

I would imagine excanvas would struggle with this... however..

If Yury hasn't already, definitely give it a shot with FlashCanvas: http://flashcanvas.net/ Its performance is somewhere around 33x faster than the vml-based excanvas. (Yes, 3300% better.)
