Just commenting because I haven't played it yet, still waiting for someone to join... Too bad there is no AI to play with ;)
Apparently we had the same idea: a tag game where you loose when you've spent too much time as the monster :)

Hello, yes, we are about fixing this problem with no players around. Thinking about making a scheduled play every day while the voting takes place.

People! 1:00 PM PDT (That's 4:00PM on New York or 9:00 PM in London, UK) we're scheduling a daily play from us the developers, so people can try the game.

I just got a game going with my brother and it was really fun. Impressive work for a weekend project!

Very nice work! Gameplay was fun and the powerups really pulled it all together. The only sore point is the graphics, I'm not sure the minecraft style works well ever. Music was fantastic. Played with 3 people.

I made an online multiplayer game the past two ludum dares, so I can relate to it being difficult to get people to rate your game without being on their own. I found three solutions; make a bot client that runs on a server and plays with people who have no other people to play with, rate some games and leave the page open to lower your default score so multiple people play before rating, and submit your game to streams where people play your game live. It's a little tedious to have to do this to get ratings, which is why I'm probably not doing it again soon. :P

Hey, great game! I love seeing networked games in Ludum Dare, and I understand how much work goes into writing and running them.

I really liked the use of the theme to create a nice twist on the game of tag, and items make it quite interesting to play as well. The music was pretty good, and the graphics were quite pleasing.

I'd recommend setting up a monitoring page of some kind that listens into the server, my brother and I have used this in past ludum dares to alert us when players joined our games. It's far less stress than constantly fretting over people who rated your game without playing.

The only thing I'd really change are the box mechanics - I think they'd work well if you placed them underneath the character and then made them solid once you walked off (Bomberman Style) to allow for really cool escapes. Still, a very solid entry. Well done!
