Once the mouse loses focus (e.g if you press escape) you can get back "into" the game

Just saw this too, was about to file an issue. Wasn't a problem in the past, may have broken due to dependency updates or possibly browser pointer lock API behavior? Not easy to regress since voxel-engine-stackgl was broken until recently by browser WebGL changes (voxel/voxel-shader#11). Maybe related to this other pointer lock issue: voxel/voxel-inventory-hotbar#11 (comment)

Workaround: open browser console (View > Developer > JavaScript Console, on Google Chrome), enter:

game.shell.pointerLock = true

then the pointer-lock can be re-acquired by clicking the game area

There was this change new in game-shell 1.3.2: mikolalysenko/game-shell@066c47b Fix presumed typos with stickyPointerLock property - dependency of gl-now, used by voxel-engine-stackgl, but reverting to 1.3.1 does not restore the expected behavior.

Same results on Firefox 43.0.3 and Chrome 47.0.2526.106

Fix setting stickyPointerLock game-shell option default
2fc04c6 
If pointerLock is enabled, then also enable stickyPointerLock, in order
to continuously re-acquire pointer lock. This is needed to re-acquire after
pointer lock is released, but if undesirable behavior this default can be
overridden with the stickyPointerLock option to voxel-engine-stackgl.

Setting this option fixes a regression - previously (circa 2015/4) it was
not needed, but now it is required for correct behavior or you cannot "re-enter"
the game after exiting (relinquishing pointer lock with Esc). See:
