Hi guys, the server is fixed ... for now ;) Thanks for all the feedbacks, you guys are awesome. We'll be working hard on the majors problems you observed: - Where am I? - Background colored player - Crashes! Thank you all again.

Have 2-second pause of the movement of my guy as a power up that can be executed by the space bar

very nice. suggestions: 1 - a stronger indicator of which point is you (the arrow at the beginning is not enough) 2 - control instructions (it wasn't obvious you had to use the keyboard arrows, also because of (1). 3 - if the room is crowded, the game will never start as long people keep joining. Put a timer or similar. 4 - i've seen some 90 degrees turns, probably because of lag or similar. it is probably a bug you…

2 - the "pick a username and color" dialog clearly shows the controls and asks if you want to change them already?

This is amazing, not sure why it doesn't have more upvotes, or more positive comments. Classic HN, I guess.

For all the people who are commenting that it's a copy of something else -- get over yourselves, just about everything is a copy of something else (or a combination of things that already existed).

Love the dead simple intro page and room joining/spectating ease.

Glad the web has come this far.
