Return of the Evil Veg

Return of the Evil Veg is a browser online multiplayer game. The game was written in JavaScript/HTML5 with the help of node.js, express, socket.io and various online inspiration. It was based on my LD38 entry. The actors were drawn by my 9-year old son. The background was borrowed from https://opengameart.org/ and the user Nidhoggn.

Nicely done as always! Maybe a bit hard do kill the enemies?

I just updated a few sounds, removal of enemies when player leaves, added a player leaves message and how high score is handled (updates immediately as the user scores higher than ever).

Nice go on doing a multiplayer, though felt the controls was lagging behind a lot at times, got stuck in the corners a lot and the shooting was a bit irregular, are you feeding the controls through the socket and do the movements on the server? Might be good to check if the server gets overloaded and perhaps move some of the logic to the client? Anyways, a fun play through! Good job, cheerz!

I didn't understand why everyone else is shooting a continuous stream of strawberries and I can only splurt out one every few seconds or something :(
