  No Brakes io is multiplayer, No Brakes is single player (I wrote No Brakes without the io in my first post, but edited it now )

  @totebo - played your game on Newgrounds and it was really fun. I really like the nice clean look and the controls are perfect! It took me a couple of goes, then I started winning a few races
  
  Awesome job!

  Is your server coping ok under the load?

  Apart from a little blip that happened exactly after I had sat down to see Bladerunner 2049 last night (awesome, btw) it has been plain sailing.

  @totebo how did you make multiplayer for html5?
  You have your custom server that supports both TCP/UDP and Websockets?

  Yes, spot on. I got Websocket to work with @hgy29 and @SinisterSoft's help, using JS.eval continuously polling for new data from the server. I've attached the class to this message.

  @totebo you've mentioned somewhere that you have a custom Golang server.
  Why did you skip NoobHub? It seems to be OK for PvP multiplayer (I need to match just 2 players in a room, not more). It performs worse when we match 6-8 players?
  
  The only problem I see now is bad latency to NoobHub creator's testing VPS.

  Good question. In fact, I used Noobhub for the prototypes. Once I had a good idea of how the game should work, I asked a friend to build a minimal server solution. The main reasons for not going with Noobhub were that I wanted proper matching (which is hard to do with Noobhub, which is client side only) and help with scalability and server locations.

  I didn't fully understand Noobhub.
  I took a look at @jdbc 's example of matching 2 players: https://github.com/jdbcdev/noobhub_colors/blob/master/scenes/room.lua
  Will this matching method work if we have a hundred players connected or there's a problem at some point?

  I never tried the code above, but having the matching on the client side is generally fraught with issues, because you rely on a device with potentially spotty connection to do the hard work.
  
  It's not impossible to get it to work well client side, but in my case I opted to remove those issues by matching players on the server side instead.
