Game looks really nice, but the HTML5 aspect of it is nothing to be proud of. Game looks as if it could work on someting like a 386 from the 80ies, but I seriously doubt it will work smoothly on anything older than 8 year old hardware.
They produced a competently executed product, which is enough to be proud of. You are right though, there's a lot of horsepower going in to what is effectively a VGA-era game. Part of me is annoyed by the over-engineering of the whole thing, if only because this trend of adding needless layers of abstraction has lead to the hell that is my every day life of dealing with unresponsive and fragile systems, but I can hardly place the blame for that on them. I honestly had no idea it was HTML5 when I played it a while back.
