For some reason when I start the game I lose connection with everyone after 5 or so seconds (all pixels are at a stand-still after they had been moving). The counter continues to count down as well.

Despite the problems it is pretty slick.

Win 7, Firefox 3.6.8.

i think firefox 4.0 will have support for websockets but until then we have to rely on fall-backs provided by the socket.io library.

although i successfully tested this game in firefox 3.6, i suggest you try chrome or safari for a better experience.
