Feel free to run the game twice on your computer, one as client and the other server to test multiplayer. This works with both the windows and web player.
Was tested with up to 4 players.

Issues
------
If buttons don't seem to work in the web version please try reloading the page. If that doesn't work try another browser, chrome and firefox has been reported to work, or download the windows exe.
The servers that are hosted are hosted by other players. You may or may not be able to connect to them.
Unfortunately most corporate and home networks will not allow you to host a game others can connect to.
You can start a server on your local machine's IP, this allows others on your local lan to connect to your machine if you are having NAT issues. To do this uncheck the NAT hole punch checkbox.
In the likely event that you are behind a strict firewall, that blocks port 25002, your server won't be registered on the master server and no one will see your server in their list.
