Definitely awesome, still a while before this is usable in the market (across many browsers) and load times seem longer than Unity/Flash. I can't wait until browser support of emscripten/asm.js is better.

#12The "Compiling Javascript" loader takes way too long (at least on my system) to not give any indication as to how long I will wait or whether it's still doing anything. At least a "this might take up to X minutes". Demo itself ran halfway ok, clicking on 'Benchmark' (which I had to guess was in the upper pulldown) immediately froze everything for me (Firefox on Kubuntu). Still: I do appreciate a demo that even kinda-…
I've found it works almost flawlessly on ArchLinux 64bit with the standard Firefox package. Only one minor issue with the flag in the wind going all over the place, but that's probably the fault of open source radeon driver.
It is very refreshing to see something cutting edge work on linux.

#14I love the "try anyway" option!
Doesn't work on latest stable Chrome on OS X though :(

#15This ran surprisingly well on my 3+ year old Asus laptop with integrated graphics. By surprisingly well, I mean I doubt I ever got over 30 fps (probably 15 fps on average) but there were little to no hitches when loading new areas.
I wouldn't be able to play a fast paced shooter like this, but I could see it being more than tolerable for playing a slow paced role playing game or something in the browser, with the added ease of connecting with other players, possibly MMORPG-style.
On a side note, it'd be nice to make it capture the mouse instead of having to drag it.

#16I'm impressed. But I wish they modeled the citadel after Hogwarts.

As someone who grew up in a time where you had to tweak your config.sys and autoexec.bat files so that you could get a few extra FPS on Duke Nukem 3D, I can tell you: this is pretty freaking amazing.

What version of Firefox did you use?

#20Controlling the spectator is remarkably bad. I hope this is not how i am supposed to play video games. Even Dead Space 1 is better, and that was so bad i could not stand it for more than 30 minutes.
