I think the studio behind this is headed by Yugo Nakamura, who was famous in the early web development days as a trailblazing Macromedia/Adobe Flash programmer with his http://yugop.com/ experiments.

His UI work has always been of an extremely high quality. Apple like, before Apple even found it's modern identity. I think this game has been in development for a good few years (at least 4, perhaps). Glad to see it might turn out well.
