Just a heads up, I'm on a touch screen and can abuse those pink parts pretty easily by just tapping the screen on the other side of them.

You can do this with a normal cursor too. Get the cursor to the edge opposite the one you want to get to. Press escape to go into loose lock mode (not sure how to describe this).

By taking your cursor down outside the box, it doesn't register as being too far away (stays yellow). You can loop your mouse around to the other side outside the window and instantly your cursor catches up when you re-enter on the opposite side.

Just completed the game. Amazed me how "selfish" some players were. Although it's hard to communicate actions - and harder still to differentiate players - it did seem that I spend much longer helping players who just camped by the exit.

There's an end? Aw, man! I tought it was just big bunch of randomly chosen levels. How about a counter? Something like 'this is level 123 from 444'?

Surprisingly awesome game tough!

I love it. I learn to be sometimes sacrificing myself and sometimes to be selfish enough. Ps: I just realized you can draw something on board. Hint: Press and hold Ctrl.

Loving the anonymous "mob psychology" patterns that can be seen whilst playing the game, the cursors makes it look like we're observing a swarm of (intelligent) flies :)

Also funny to witness in the harder levels most cursors getting slower and slower as to avoid having to start again :)

Interesting but it lost me when I had start to have to do pixel accurate manoeuvring. That was challenging when I was 16, but it feels so pointless now (30 years later).

By the way, apparently it doesn't work with the ad on the bottom turned off by either NoScript or Adblock (connection to server lost).

The level that really made me smile was one with about twenty "exits", only one of which was real. One of the cursors sat by the real one and danced invitingly until everyone noticed.

Did they figure out which was the real one, and then restart the game and get to that level just to point out the correct answer?
