1. Stunning and colorful interactive animation using HTML5's canvas element
2. Little Red Shooting Hood - Because you know you’ve always wanted to shoot the wolf with a machine gun.
3. MugTug - a reasonably decent Photoshop clone that runs on HTML5
4. The Wilderness Downtown - Amazingly cool, once you get past the stalkery aspect
