This is a pretty sweet demo. It worked well for me in Chrome, smooth and responsive.
I have an underlying worry about the significance of HTML5 when it comes to gaming. Since it's all JS and CSS, how are developers going to protect their work? Isn't it going to be very easy for me to simply steal all your code and resources? It's one thing if this is just Snake, it's another if this is something more significant.

It's also very easy to decompile and change credits, etc. Even native games are cracked and distributed for free the same day they hit stores. This isn't much different. What is significant is that it's truly easy to change the code on the fly. People who cheat in flash games usually use memory editors. The barrier to cheating in a game like this is much smaller. It's very easy to change the script to give you 100 points per pellet, or slow the update interval from 30 to 10.
