Apestronauts is a multiplayer game of banana warfare developed in 48 hours by Team Watermelon Sauce for the Node Knockout competition. You can play online with your friends at apestronauts.com.

The game was written in JavaScript with a Node.js server using Socket.IO for realtime WebSocket communication. I created some notes for the JavaScriptMN meetup if you'd like to learn more about the development of Apestronauts.
