Love to see this kind of craftsmanship. It's nice to make things snappy, especially because it broadens the reach to people who don't have the best hardware or connections.

Nice work taking the time to make your game load quickly! I'm sure I'm not the only person who closes most browser games' tabs when they take longer than a couple seconds to…

Whoa I opened this on mobile (Opera) and it was a mess of overlapping text. I suggest you add a screen saying it's desktop only.

Fantastic work, and very fun game! Thanks for sharing :)

Awesome Game! It is actually a lot of fun!

Cool game, very fun to play, well done!

Chrome and FF mobile as well.

Yeah looks wrong on my mobile Chrome.

This might win the award for least mobile friendly website ever!

Very nicely done, congrats! I connected to a geographically far away server (US West, from Europe) and there's a bit of a delay between keypresses and movement, and the movement…

Nice! Interesting approach. I'll have to try to replicate this for my game[1] where the loading of some JS scripts is sometimes annoyingly high (in particular for the cookie…

I am using Firefox 84.02 and it is not working. Takes considerably more than a minute to show fill username screen.

Put a star field or some other background so movement is more obvious. Some instructions might help or even a highlight on the points allocations at the bottom left. or did I…

space needs some kind of texture so I can see my movement better

Very nice game, but would you add aiming with keys? I have no mouse for instance ... very difficult to win shooting in one direction only :)

Just a suggestion: I'd love a way to change the keybinds; using Dvorak means this is wholy unplayable for me (also a mech keyboard that doesn't have up-down-left-right in a…

Cool, this is great! I was working on a multiplayer game and I found it difficult to make client movement smooth. Are you using client-side prediction for the player's movements?

Welp that was fun :) https://i.imgur.com/47f7IhU.png Honestly the game really needs more balancing as I took a while to find a build which can defeat Necromancer.

Yes, just played and Necromancer with auto-fire on, maxed out bullet damage, bullet speed, and reload speed. Got boring winning easily after half an hour. Fun game though! Just…

This is a pattern that I have seen quite regularly in recent times, mostly via Next.js, I think: ``` <link rel=preload href=FOO.js as=script> <script async src=FOO.js></script>…

I dug down into your comment history where you said you were using a custom Canvas2D engine. Hopefully you'll open source it like you said, this is right up my alley.

I like the diep.io a-like game. What other JavaScript resources did you use to build this?

.io are indeed "expensive", but to add one datapoint to your question: there's a concept/genre called "io games", mostly involving browser-based multiplayer games like this one…
