I think web games will get a lot more visibility than the other ones.  The last image was really what captured me to try this game.  It looked really cool.  The game was a little hard to control, but the lighting effects are really cool.  The map was a little too dark; I get that was the intent, but navigation was a little to hard.  Also corridors were a little too small but that's more of a personal preference.  Sound effects were good, but ambiance and background music would make it really interesting.
