Is Jack a bot? Cool game.
No it's actually me :)) Thanks! I'm looking forward to your feedback
This definitely was a fun little browser game. If you want to keep working on it this is what I would add.

1) I clicked through the splash page too fast to read the instructions. So I was confused for awhile. I wouldn't mind having the basic commands persistent inside a floating box in the game for awhile.

2) I would like the ability to invite someone to play with me, in case the game is empty.

3) I would like a win condition, like if you hit 100 the game says you win and resets.

Did you follow a game building tutorial to make this, or was it entirely from scratch?

Thanks!

1) Added commands for speed/shield/invisibility, will add bomb commands

2) We have facebook share button, obviously not enough :) I'll see what other options can be added

3) IO games usually don't follow this pattern, but thanks

I did it from scratch, and created a small client-side framework in the process which I plan to open source when It's ready.
