#12I really had wayyyy too much fun playing this, for how "simple" it is. I'm very impressed with what was possible in just two nights. Thanks a lot for sharing!

#13Very cool, my biggest issue with the game play was just catching on corners. I think it could be very successful with a lot of iteration, richer graphics, and storyline. The basic fun factor is there, which isn't true of many commercial games.

I hope to do something more serious with it in the coming months. If anyone cares to be updated, you can follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/elisee

#16I spent a lot of years using wasd and the mouse, but I no longer have a mouse. Anything you can do for us trackpad users?
I'm afraid the game is pretty much designed to be played with a mouse as it requires precise shooting. I'd love to add gamepad support later on though, should work well with dual sticks (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/API/Gamepad/Using_G...)

Thanks :). I spent a huge amount of time working with those techs lately so I'm pretty familiar with them. It's not like I could have done that from scratch.
Over the last few weeks I wrote a Web player with Three.js / Lua.js to be released with the Beta of my cooperative game-making platform (next week) - http://craftstud.io/, and last year I wrote a Google Wave-like thing with Socket.io.

#20Awesome! Now just add first-person view, and a 3D map, and different weapon loadouts, and classes, and... I may be getting carried away.
