Very smooth, great graphics. However, I'm still hoping to see an example of an HTML5 game that's more than a simple shooter.

Construct 2 looks like a great framework. There's a little background in this interview: http://www.html5grind.com/2011/07/12/construct-2-create-html...

Thanks for feedback on Construct 2, we've come a long way since that interview though!

I agree that games coming out now for HTML5 are still fundamentally quite simple, but every now and then one comes along that just pushes things a little further on like this one in my opinion.

It's only a matter of time before we see more sophisticated games, and I for one can't wait!

Looks nice. I was excited to give it a try. I'm on my company laptop, however, and the screen is only 768 tall. I had no way to view the entire environment which made the game quite challenging.

This is a big feature request, but honestly window sizing/scaling is something you want to handle early rather than late.

Or, you may just want to throw an error page up if people don't have large enough resolution capabilities.

Good luck!

Thanks for feedback, we do have support in Construct 2 for multiple screensizes: http://www.scirra.com/tutorials/73/supporting-multiple-scree...

However the arcade doesn't yet support things like full screen (but will at some point).

Devil's advocate: 1. What's the advantage of doing this in HTML5 vs Flash? This is not a game I can play on a touch screen device. 2. Why should customers get excited about a game that would have looked pretty average even in the 1990s? Nobody cares that it's HTML5.

On my computer, this game seems to run at a much higher framerate/smoothness rate than anything I've ever seen in a Flash game.

I could just perceiving that because I'm an HTML5 nerd though.

What would be the advantage of doing this in Flash instead of HTML5?
