Does it... um... do anything? I can swim and chat. Nice motion, and quite pretty, but I expect it to do something more. * shrug * must be because I've played Flow.

I tried typing /turboboost and /lightningbolt and it did nothing. I was a little let down. Still, it's a good demo of some new technologies.

You can make your own fun though. I swam past a bunch of other tadpoles yelling "Don't go that way! MONSTERS!!!"

Not at this time. For now it's just a tech demo that we made for fun. We are planning some more features and maybe a layer of "gamification"

Did you try /magicmissile or /pizza ?

First thing I tried was: alert("!"); which was just not chatted. Didn't try much else :)
