NPC soldiers with HTML5 orange shield are just too cute :)

And this is actually a nice little game. Buy then again, where is browserid and open badges support ?

Could not move while on Chrome... was nifty though, I applaud the effort put into this. One day Flash, one day...

I have browserID supported on a few projects I've shipped, adoption comes down to the developers, all Mozilla can do is provide the tools.

I'm on Chrome and it worked fine. Took a while to connect to the server, but other than that, it works great.

Yes, but this is a Mozilla project, so no excuses on that one.
