It has potentials even if that's a classic gameplay.

- Shooting at the top-left stat things to upgrade is an interesting idea, too bad that the asset images are missing x)
- Shooting down enemies requires too many clicks !

Interesting thing about the game is that it's fully deterministic. Server is just an relay and only data that gets transferred is player inputs. It also uses rollback to fix miss predicted frames.

Server is located in New York, because I wanted to have higher ping to test out the networking.

Regarding the jam theme: To be honest, my game does not really have anything "Unfair Advantage". I couldn't really figure out interesting mechanic to match the theme and also I ran out of time. But regardless I still wanted to share my code and game.

Install instructions:

Either load index.html or go to http://gaminghouse.io

index.html is just an iframe to gaminghouse.io. I had trouble getting https connections to work with the libraries that I used for networking, so I couldn't host the html files on itch.io because of browsers don't allow https -> http connections.

Game has been tested with google-chrome.
