I stumbled upon this little browser game today and while it seems limited in scope or unfinished, it is pretty nice looking as far as graphics for a small browser game. I viewed the source and there is a lot of JS, but can anyone more experienced take a guess at what is under the hood? Thank you.

Yes, it appears to me to be an HTML5 game. You can almost always right-click a Flash canvas and get the Flash pop-up if it is Flash, and I don't have Unity installed on this computer, so it isn't Unity, either. Don't be confused by the graphics. They are nicely modeled and rendered, but they are just image-based sprites. They also appear to use a few lighting techniques for explosions and missiles to give it more of a 3D look (techniques such as those used here).
