HTML5 RTS game: Dust And Destruction

Scirra hosted a Windows 8 game competition from the 4th to the 21st this December and I decided to try my hand at making a RTS with randomly generated levels, barely managed to submit it just in time for the 14th (Giving 7 days for Microsoft to hopefully approve it). So far it's only three days work, but here's what my friend and I were able to do with the pre-made graphics from the Construct 2 art pack!
If you'd like to try it early, you can play it at this link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4714446/DnD/index.html (works best in Firefox or Internet Explorer 10, no time to test it in Chrome yet) We'll definitely add some more cool features like additional building construction and a tougher AI at some point after the competition. Oh, and happy to fix any bugs anyone finds as well =]
