Looks pretty neat. I'm at work so I only had a few minutes to play around with it. It seems really smooth and fun. I'll bookmark it to play around later. The concept is really cool. I want to see what some people have been able to come up with. Do you have limits on the size of the world people can create?

I wonder why you "brag" that you don't use canvas though. I would think that's the correct way of making a game now-a-days, in lieu of web-gl not being widely supported.

Thanks! Not bragging, totally sorry if it looks like I'm! At the very beginning I tried to do something very stupid: create the game using only the DOM. All data in it, no variable, just div, data attributes, classes. It was just to have fun with jQuery limitation (and gosh, I saw them, my Firefox died a lot at this time!). When I started to do more, with a bigger goal, I just kept all I did previously.

I started to do a canvas version for a weekend, but at the end it wasn't worth it, the editor and the game were too far to step back!

Again, thanks for your feedback!

Sorry, I forgot the size part! The biggest world possible is about 25K pixels wide (the famous 1-1 world is around 10K), so it's quite a lot, but not limitless!
