Very amusing -- I played against one player for a while, and they were nearly unstoppable. But once I got to level 2-3 I became nearly unstoppable instead. It's an odd mix of higher levels being very strong, and dying being very punishing.

It can be a little difficult to know if your shots are connecting, also. It kind of felt like shooting reduced your mass, so one needs to play strategically instead of holding down the mouse button, a neat tradeoff.

Cool game! I included it in part 6 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/v1uehyKcvFY

Found a player the first time i joined. Pretty fun, but the server "updates" are a tad slow (I could pass through the boundaries with ease most of the time). o/

Alas, I have lived my dream of becoming a planet with a cannon on it!
