ChumDrop
About
Drop some blocks with your chums!
Controls with arrow keys, wasd, or mouse. For 1-5 players.
Designed for desktop play, tested with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge browser. Plays best in full-screen.
Please note that the multiplayer lobby server used to connect peers is self-hosted, and may be frequently unavailable - Chumless mode will still work though.
This was a project made to try out various HTML5 technologies in order to put together a complete game (my first!) in a browser environment without relying on any external engines or plugins. Although the game itself is fairly basic, it implements peer-to-peer networking with client-side prediction, multi-threading, WebGL graphics with 3D lighting, and manages to pack all of the code and assets in at ~140Kb.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out and read this, I look forward to getting the leaderboard finished and seeing all of your top scores!
--Still to come--
