I built a browser-based multiplayer arena game inspired by the Warlocks map from Warcraft 3.

No install — just open the link to play: https://warlockjs.pages.dev

Left-click = shoot fireball, Right-click = move. Last one standing wins.

It’s fully server-authoritative: fireball hits, knockback, cooldowns, and win logic all come from the server.

If no one's online, just open the game in two browser tabs to simulate a duel.

Feedback welcome, especially on:

Responsiveness

Input lag

Movement feel

Region you're playing from

Just finished adding full animations for walk, idle, hurt, casting, and dying to all wizards! Now movement, taking damage, casting spells, and dying all have their own distinct effects. It feels way more alive and polished. Would love any feedback or suggestions for more improvements!
