After actually playing it--the penchant of the controlled blob to end up running into invisible walls is absolutely eye-gougingly irritating.

That said, I look forward to the video-- I'm curious as to where the "horror" comes in.

Is there a video of how this is supposed to be played? I swam around a bit, saw some other blobs, then it said "Demo over, restarting in 10 seconds". Upon reloading, it appears the server has died.

I'll have a video up in the next couple days. I'll post it on HN and as a reply to this thread.

Tells me I'm dead before the loading screen even disappears. Firefox/Win.

Tells me I'm dead shortly after I start moving and the controls window never goes away. Chrome 15/Win.

Yeah, we're having some memory usage issues on the small joyent server. I can't move it until the judging is finished.

Very nice.

Are you having any issues with the 128MB ram that the joyent no.de machines come standard with?

Running like a charm right now, though we could support a lot more players if we had more ram :)

Running like a charm might have been an overstatement, HN seems to be giving us some trouble ;)

Frozen on “Building World...” Consumed all cpu and a lot of gpu tho...

(Chrome/win)

I seem to be hanging on "Building World". Mac/Chrome.
