First off, thanks for the kind words! You shouldn't be seeing a significant difference in performance on IE (6-8). We'll look into the alert boxes, are you in Chrome on Windows? We currently don't charge for use of the services. And, absolutely looking at dealing with multiplayer in the future.

I did see a pretty significant slowdown on IE7 (XP service pack 3) in the Crystal Galaxy demo in the section where there's a wall down the center of the screen and a big mass of the "bubbles" both above and below. By the end of that, it's really chugging.
Firefox 3.5.4 is really smooth, though, and IE7 is surprisingly smooth even then.
The Mario demo was great, and the Platformer demo really expanded on that to show it supports modern techniques.
Just FYI, in Chrome, http://www.effectgames.com/effect/games/crystalgalaxy/ shows alert boxes complainigna bout unloaded resources.
I didn't see it mentioned on the site, but what is your revenue model for this? Advertisements? Charge for the devtools?
Do you deal with multiplayer at all yet?
Best of luck with this project!
