Pretty fun. My favorite feature so far is bullets bouncing off metal buildings. The server-side movement is unfortunate, but understandable. At first I thought the brown crates were just barriers, but I learned pretty quickly.

Is it server-side? Feels snappy to me. Too snappy to not use prediction actually.

Does this game use bots at all? The magic of paper.io disappeared when I found out that I wasn't playing against any human players.

Extremely choppy on Firefox 57/Win10, quad core Ryzen with 16GB and a GTX 1060 (not that the GPU should matter). This is on a 100Mbit cable connection. It was worst when I got zerg rushed, but even just roaming around the map was too choppy to be playable.

This is surprisingly fun to play. Lots to be done here that could make this truly addictive.

I am playing on a laptop and when I use the movement keys it stops updates from my touchpad, so I can't look around while I'm running around. Is this a bug in the game or with my laptop/touchpad driver? Any ideas?

Very cool! One bit of feedback its a pain to have to whitelist all the IP addresses for the game server. Can you associate a DNS and connect by name, this will make it easier with selective js filtering by domain?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No real point in routing it through DNS except to entertain a few nerds looking at the network tab.

or, like in my case, when you've got umatrix running.

Do you have ammo? does left-click punch when you spawn?
