Hi all,

I'm wanting to make a Ager.io like browser based game. Is ImpactJs the right engine for something like that?

Have there been any recent advancements in ImpactJs's multiplayer capabilities?

Impact is capable of something like that. Using Box2D for the physics would probably be a good idea since you would need to support circular shaped entities.

Not really. Multiplayer is a tricky thing. There is no one best way to network a game because different types of games call for different networking techniques.

Should be doable though...

Here's an tech demo example of a multiplayer game made with Impact:
