Cool, I guess. No instructions what-so-ever. Can we get some documentation on keys to use?

Random Javascript point and click game demo in alpha quality. Uses sprites ripped from Diablo 2. Other sprites from an unknown source. Not actually Diablo. Not anywhere close.

It appears to be Chrome only which might explain your problem with controls...

Edit: Yes, I did only test in Firefox and Chrome. According to the comments below, it appears to work for modern browsers except Firefox.

Well, click left and use 1-9 for drinking potions.

Nothing else is implemented - and that much is probably obvious for people who played a hack'n slay before.

But thinking about it, it is interesting how games explain their shortcuts in the interface.

My bad - haven't actually played Diablo. (and I guess that's extra uncool points for me, but, yeah..)

Also, to clarify, I found this while browsing through http://gistflow.com (specific gist: http://gistflow.com/posts/201-diablo-js)

I thought it was really neat, I don't know what all your hate is about. I also like that the source code is friendly looking and you could show it to somebody new to coding to inspire them.

Great, but it would be excellent if there were instructions.

Works in IE10. Why do you say Chrome only?
