When I clicked that link, I heard a lot of horrible noise and saw some racial epithet spam in a chat box. Was that supposed to happen? Anyways, 10/10 would click again.
You can't move on phone yet (but you can shoot!), I'm not sure how to do the controls there. Maybe a multitouch thing where the first touch makes a joystick appear for movement, and 2nd tap shoots in the tap direction?
Funny. On iPhone I’m stuck in the middle. Assume it’s beca I don’t have a mouse? Still, I played for 5 minutes or so shooting user 2 —fracking gnat— from the center of the game. hehe

Sound effects are generated on the fly (with sfxr), there is Text to Speech (with Software Automatic Mouth, from the Commodore 64)
Update: got rid of webassembly (for my usecase it was pure overhead).
Game is now 24KB (down from 170KB)
Will ship new version tomorrow and start fixing all the bugs / complaints.
Netcode needs major overhaul.
Need to move the game logic into server for anti-cheat and for more consistent experience.
(Currently collision is done locally, which coupled with the lag is terrible. (On that note, I need more servers...))
