It's not like there have been thousands of Flash movies and games made this way. No no no.
It's showing off that SVG movie playback is there, and that we killed the chicken and egg problem of another area of Flash: now we only need authoring tools whereas before who would build SVG authoring tools when there was no player?
Which brings us to how difficult it could have been to be made, as it really comes down to what authoring tools they did use. Interestingly enough, after the animation they offer a "simple mode" to trivially alter colors of the animation.
I see it as a strong signal of:
- cross-browser compatibility went a step further.
- one more thing we don't need a proprietary crashing blob anymore as there is an open alternative. I was also pleasantly surprised at how well it played on my Mac and Chrome. It was a bit slow at start on Firefox 4, and was (surprisingly to me) even faster than Chrome on Safari.
