This is pretty cool. Any plans for releasing a blog post about building the game, or even the source?

Not really an answer but the creator of agar.io described succinctly his stack : server in C++ with libuv for the networking.

Don't worry, I thought the same and turned off adblocking and checked again, and the ads are even more intrusive.

Too hard to control the ship using the keyboard, mouse movement like in agar would be loads better.

I'd actually prefer if agar had keyboard support

P2P fights are too much a case of "the bigger one wins" IMHO. The ships aren't maneuverable enough given the high rate of fire.
