DOM vs Canvas for making a HTM5 mobile game

WooHooBoy

I'm planning on making a game for android/iOS.
It will have the same complexity as Spider Square, and similar graphics simplicity.
Which will be better for this purpose?

Definitely canvas, it's just so much better suited for these kinds of things in my opinion.

Just pixi.min.js if you're not planning to modify the engine :-)

And what do I use to package it as an appstore app?
