Most of our developers use Ubuntu and I just tried to play Score Rush and it worked fine for me on Chrome under Ubuntu. Perhaps the browser is black-listing your video card and not supporting WebGL? If I can get more details about your system I can try to help.

My apologies - WebGL was disabled by the auto-blacklist for using an ATI card, and I hadn't force enabled it since reinstalling Ubuntu last week.
It appears to work now. Framerate isn't great but that could be due to a whole host of factors. I'm using the Open source driver rather than ATIs proprietary fglrx driver for one thing.

It would be nice if the SDK were available for linux.

Most of the developers at Turbulenz use Ubuntu, so everything does work on Linux, it was more a case of lack of requests for a Linux version of the SDK so we concentrated our release process in the versions that our developers needed at the time. Now that we have a couple of requests for a Linux version we will probably release one shortly.

I get "Turbulenz is not currently supported on your platform, but we're working on it!" running Chrome under Ubuntu.
Sure, Linux gaming isn't a big market, but surely one of the big points of HTML/web gaming is cross-platform support?
I wish these guys luck - I actually interviewed there a while back, and the technical members really know their stuff - but I think they've got a few more barriers to cross first to get to 'it just works'.
