Interesting game, I'm pretty impressed with how well the Canvas 2D performs here. I tried writing a clone of Gate88 (http://www.queasygames.com/gate88/ http://www.queasygames.com/gate88/) for the web four years ago, but even on high end machines it wasn't performant enough. Time to revisit it I think.
You can play what I built here (it's single player against the AI):
http://lucaspiller.github.io/88etag/ http://lucaspiller.github.io/88etag/
The controls are:
Arrows - move
D - Fire
Q - Place turret
W - Place mass driver

- nacs 11y agoTry Pixi.js [1] or one of the many frameworks that use Pixi. It's really high performance (uses Webgl by default and falls back to canvas if its unavailable). [1]: http://www.pixijs.com/ http://www.pixijs.com/
