Ah we all know what we really want to do - build tools!
A game just makes the journey a tad more interesting.

This is bonkers and so cool that you did this solo. Loaded right up on my iPhone 13, prompted me to turn my phone to landscape and I was running around in a 3d world shooting spells at other players - really great work and surprisingly polished for being a solo project.

Please include a little animated GIF or something that gives us a taste of what it looks like!

Game's linked at the top of the blog[0], and loads in the browser, but agree a gif would be nice.

Pretty cool, but it seems I crashed it to a grey screen. Even game counter stopped. I was battling someone, was fun though.

Holy cow, I've been playing for 20 minutes without realising. This is amazing!

Interesting to see that I already had an account at CrazyGames. It wasn't loading from your URL, but I saw that it's CG so when I logged on with my account my Firefox played ball (I got ABP, Ublock, NoScript, PrivacyBadger, LARGE hosts file, so 'some' websites are broken ;)
Cool game, fast. Someone dominated me for 4 mins and then I decided to switch to Fortnite :)

How many closing parenthesis do you have on a last line?
Quick summary: ClojureScript + Babylon.JS on the frontend and Clojure for the backend, coordination via Websockets.
The point about lack of tooling for Babylon.JS is interesting: a lot of times I see people wanting to release games but spending most of the time building tools... sometimes all of the time. It is a delicate balance!
Congratulations on releasing! Very cool project.
