I had hopes, but then played the game. It's very basic and doesn't work on mobile browsers such as Firefox on Android and iOS, nor iOS Safari. Doesn't load in desktop IE11. No touch support.
HTML5 games seem to be stuck in a pattern of ultra-simple design, limited browser support and poor responsive characteristics - what HTML should be good at. Even a graceful degrade is absent.
Very simple games should counter-balance that simplicity with awesome cross browser and mobile support.
Not trying to discredit the educational efforts, but perhaps making a dedicated windows or native app game would have been better to teach things like animating sprites and physics, where the end result sits more comfortably on the platform it was made for.
