Wait, you say its a pure Javascript/DHTML engine, but it still using Flash for audio? I noticed your game is using http://www.effectgames.com/engine/audio.swf

Is that because there is no browser support for playing audio? I have only a passing familiarity with current state of HTML5 browsers.

Though overall those are the highest-quality mostly-JavaScript games I've seen yet.

Yes, we currently use Flash for audio as a fallback. We've been working on native audio with mixed results. http://www.effectgames.com/effect/article.psp.html/news/Snow... It is definitely something we're continuing to work on tho. And thanks for the kind words!
