Not sure if this is off topic, but has anyone else tried

It's a funny little top down 2d shooter and all ya'll who know how to do sockety wockety connect things, I was wondering what you'd say about what's going on behind the scenes in that game?

Ahh, I had actually meant to make a post about this game, but kept forgetting. It is definitely a one-of-a-kind game, being a bullet hell/MMO hybrid (not two genres that typically go together lol).

I believe I remember reading that it is done with websockets with a Flash bridge for older browsers, which pretty much hints that it is either done with Node.js and Socket.IO or jWebSocket, which is a Java websocket server that puts program logic into servlets.

Was looking through steam for a good co-op game. i need some multiplayer!
