Nope, you can join and play as a guest. A Newgrounds account is only needed if you want to chat and save your progress.

I’m not sure yet. Right now the server is capped to 50 players, but the maximum player count the game can actually support might be below or higher than that. As of the time of writing this, the highest amount of concurrent players we’ve hit is about ~38, which did have some noticable lag. This should improve as I optimize the server more. The goal is to support upwards of 100 players.

Yes and yes. You can grief and mess around with other players, but there are still rules in place. Please read the rules page for more information. Generally, you can be mean to other players and act like a stinker but seriously malicious behavior like hacking, doxxing, or acting creepy will get you banned.

No. Only the server itself can see your IP, there’s no peer-to-peer anything in the game. Even moderators cannot see your IP when they IP ban you. The privacy page goes into more detail about what information is collected and who can see it.

I plan on experimenting with voice chat soon, but I have no idea how feasible it is. It’s possible that it might be restricted to desktop clients only if I run into any browser-specific limitations. No promises!

Not in the traditional sense.

Like most developers in 2026, I do use AI assisted tooling, but I maintain a very hands-on approach to development and understanding the codebase. None of the game’s code has been automatically generated by AI without significant human oversight and scrutiny, and a ton of manual effort goes into every part of the game’s development.

LLMs are good at writing code in isolation but struggle with complex tasks like game development. Relying on an agent who has zero way to actually interact with the editor or actually test the game creates more issues than it solves. Plus it just isn’t fulfilling for me personally.

The only exception is the WebGPU driver work outside of the game, which itself was borrowed from a heavily AI-assisted project that I adapted and modified for use in this game.

Generative AI is not used whatsoever for art, music, design, or any other aspect of the game, nor will it ever be, because that personally defeats the purpose of what I find fulfilling about working on projects like this.

If your browser is blocked outright, WebGPU is not working for you, which is required. You can try:

• Switching to Google Chrome (generally the easiest solution)
• Updating your browser to the latest version
• Enabling hardware acceleration in your browser settings
• Making sure your GPU drivers are up to date
• Buying a new graphics card (sorry)
• Waiting for me to release a native desktop client in the future (again, sorry)

1. Be patient, the game is probably downloading data and/or compiling shaders and it might take awhile
2. Do a hard refresh by pressing Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac).
3. Make sure you have “hardware acceleration” turned ON in your browser settings and that WebGPU is supported
4. Try disabling browser extensions?

If that doesn’t help, submit a report and tell me your browser, OS version, GPU, and any errors printed in the dev console

First, check the status page. If the server is online, try reconnecting or using another trusted network. Your browser, VPN, proxy, or network restrictions may prevent a connection.

The game prefers WebTransport. VPNs, proxies, Tor, and some networks can block it. If this happens, the game tries WebSockets instead. You can keep your VPN enabled, but you may experience increased latency and lag. IP-range checks run on our server. Your IP is not sent to a VPN-detection service, and a match does not prove you use a VPN.

That’s somewhat normal for now as I continue to optimize the game, sorry. Doing the following may help:

1. Play the game for a bit to allow shaders to compile
2. Close any tabs or processes that you are not using
3. Turn down in-game graphics settings in the escape menu
4. Use a Chromium-based browser
