I don't have a suitable mobile device, but I tried it in Firefox (3.6, running in Fedora 14). I don't care for the gameplay, but it's all very polished and responds well. My computer being seriously old by now, that's noticeable. Especially as most other HTML5 games I've seen aren't optimized at all. Thumbs up!
I'm highly skeptical of the idea that people ever "invent" anything. It's not like we make things possible that weren't before; we merely discover that they were possible all along. Moreover, invention doesn't come from divine inspiration, but by recombining what came before. (There is even a field of engineering that formalizes the process.) That's why people working independently so often make the same inventions at the same time. And we, as a society, reward the one who can run faster to the patent office! Not to mention the harm done by delaying every little progress by decades, because the first version of an invention is often terrible, and it's subsequent innovators that turn it into something useful.
And then there are computer programs that invent new algorithms. So much for human "inventors" doing something unique and special...
That's a real issue. I did that too, uploading two pieces of art separately, even though they are part of the same project and should arguably go together. But somebody liked one of them while completely ignoring the other, and indeed I can easily imagine each piece being used by itself.
Also, what ceninan said: it's hard to draw a line.
There you go. I'm not sure how much sense it makes, as POV-Ray files are largely useless with other tools, but you can read them and extract the exact measurements at the very least (everything's in meters).
So it's not just me!

W00t! Glad to hear you're finding them useful. I'd like to hear about your progress, and if you need more specific scenes, let me know.

I just did. The .pov files are the 3D models. There's nothing else, I've created the scenes all by hand.

Ooh, I know one of those: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/ChrisHildenbrand/20111015/8669/2D_Game_Ar... -- pretty much what it says on the tin.
Yeah, Bart announced the fix a few days ago. It's all good now.
A game isn't finished until you abandon development, so don't sweat it. A few checkboxes to tick:
Unfortunately I lack an Android device, so all I can do is cheer you on.
