Reminds me of cursor*10[1]. I always wanted an actual multiplayer version of it -- awesome!

Lost connection to server a couple times now. Gets old trying to get through the beginning levels.

I think we need a save/load button or the auto-save feature

I started playing this while some code was compiling and ended up getting completely sucked in. That giddy thrill of enabling a restless mass of fellow cursors to rush through a gate, or the temporary, unspoken bond between the lone cursor selflessly manning a button and the new arrival sidling up to them to see if they want to change shifts... there's a lot going on in this seemingly simple game.

Dev here, yep. Server was restarted.

I'm an active gamer and this is the first time I've had fun playing something in years. Thank you.

Thank you. That means a lot :)

Broken in Safari -

    [Error] TypeError: undefined is not a function (evaluating 'w.requestPointerLock()')
    	ma (client_out.js, line 1)

(As the error suggests, checking the 'no pointer lock' button fixes it, but it shouldn't be silently failing.)

Edit: Ouch, I was disconnected from the server after getting several levels in.

So much fun, great to see how people work together to help each other win. I gave up on the one where you had to squeeze through a bunch of narrow red pathways, it's not so easy on a trackpad.

Not to sound snobby, but it's easy on a good trackpad :)

Playing this was a mistake on my part considering I have plenty of networking HW due tomorrow, but then again looking at HN was the first mistake. Great job! It's a simple game that ended up being significantly more fun than I thought it would be.

This is going to be H U G E.

Stats about one's own selflessness etc would be really cool. Or even aggregated stuff. X% is selfish, Deciles of goodness etc.

I have that message too now, I think the server simply went down, as I was not AFK at all.

Dev here, yep. Server was restarted.

It'd be great to have some sort of session restore... it's really frustrating to be booted back to the beginning when the connection fails.
