Mechanic parts or genetic modifications turned from a fashion option into a requirement for survival.

Html5

Is it a pure html 5 game?

HTML5 ftw

Yes, atm it's DOM and JS, but there was talk in our channel recently that it should be converted to canvas in order to allow animations and special effects easier, also, it could improve compatibility with various browsers and increase performance.

the problem is we list only

the problem is we list only native games, so I have to remove it :(

Dread Knight's picture

it will become native

Don't remove it :D I was sure you would say that. It will use Chromium Embedded Framework soon so it will be native (downloadable) and it will show up in Ubuntu Software Center etc. Similar scenario to Machinarium, which is a flash game.
