#62Earlier quoted context omitted.
it's cause they are using flash for audio if not IE9 or greater (as in IE10). you can force html5 audio instead of flash audio using this link: http://www.cuttherope.ie/?html5audio=true Let me know if that works.
Aw, too bad. They must be aware they're blocking browsers that support it if they have that override. But yes, that does work for me. (*Edit: it appears audio is [at worst] broken in Chrome stable according to the dev blog for this project). Yup, doesn't even try to load Flash at all now, great!
Chrome is the only browser to support the Web Audio API (which isn't fully standardised yet anyway I don't think), but that is an amazing API for audio, and is far better than HTML5 audio.

#63This game runs more smoothly on Chrome than on IE 10. (I have Windows 8 Developer Preview)
[In IE, balloon presses are laggy - not so in Chrome.]

Yeah you said it, it is a preview ( including IE 10)

Really? It was so sluggish on mine.

#67This really does show the power and potential of HTML5. Personally, I'm really looking forward to the day where I can easily make notes and draw on any given webpage, and be able to save and share them.

#68Does not support touch controls. Therefore probably can't be used for Windows 8 demos.

#69I found their framerate numbers quite staggering, with OS X lagging far behind Windows. Is this a surprise to anyone else?

XP is about a decade old now. I think its completely reasonable for a web app showcasing modern technologies to not even acknowledge it's existence, let alone support it.
