I get nothing either in Firefox or Chrome :( Firefox says: > SecurityError: The operation is insecure. client_out.js:30 Chrome says: > Uncaught SecurityError: Failed to read the 'localStorage' property from 'Window': Access is denied for this document.

Doesn't work for me on Firefox Aurora, console shows: ReferenceError: WebSocket is not defined

I see just a rectangle with border, when I move cursor to it it disappears, when I move it out it appears 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).

On the narrow stretches you can cheat by right-clicking at the entrance (so you have a context menu and the game cursor freezes), then moving to the far end of the narrow section and left-clicking to release the menu. The game cursor will jump to the new position.

Ooof, it's over. Some levels is more tragic and ironic than Hollywood movies. I've known a cursor who always clicking as if he cheering to everybody. Funny guy. There was two friendly cursors at the maze and they never stoped to draw a lines and moved together, side by side. "Leave me, save yourself!" - I said to other brave cursor, but he stayed on the blue square and didn't want to escape the level.

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 :)

I was trolled by a very mean cursor who relentlessly cyber bullied me and made some very NSFW gestures! I captured a screen snapshot, reported it to the FBI, and described the cursor who assaulted me to a sketch artist, but they said they could not do anything about it unless they have more evidence as to the rogue cursor's identity. What am I to do???

Interesting CPU performance in Chrome on Ubuntu!

Relating to this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8471049 (Google chrome helper amok in OSX HN thread)

While playing Cursors my chrome CPU usage went through-the-roof! Just like OSX 60-80%+ CPU usage on that page. Side-by-side comparison with a mac at cursors.io had identical CPU (so may just be the load of the app).

Just did a side-by-side comparison with Mozilla in Ubuntu showed no higher than 15% for about 90 seconds, but actually ended up jumping to 100%

*Edit: The mozilla cpu jump was related to cursor hiding. Otherwise the crazy cpu usage is entirely gone. The issue persists in chrome.
