Lots of fun, most fun is at the end of the game. A lot of drawing took place on the end level, was fun :D

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. I'm glad I got to p…

I am not logging anything at the moment. I started writing this a few days ago.

There's potential for a really neat prisoner's dilemma study here. Should be an exercise for many a philosophy course.

Everyone seems to be loving it, but doesn't work for me. I don't control any of the cursors. There's a message in the bottom corner "Area too full, drawing is disabled". Latest Firefox.

On Chrome I get "Area too full, drawing is disabled". The site disables my cursor (if I give it permission) and then I simply can't move my cursor, but I can click which creates a ripple around my cursor.

Dev here. There's an editor at http://cursors.io?editor , but it can't submit the level to me yet. But you can type "generateCode();" and put it on pastebin and email it to me at me [at] m28.io and I'll put it in game if I like it. My server is getting hammered pretty hard, that's the reason for the disconnects. The spike caused by hn: http://d.m28.io/ZCWdy0m1DHOG.png I'm gonna sleep now but ask anything and I'll rep…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Firefox's cursor hiding breaks it, won't let you move the cursor, so don't enable it. Red circled cursor is your actual mouse position, grey circled one is the 'ingame' cursor that's blocked by walls. Move the red onto the grey to start.

I found disabling the cursor lock on FF helped

No trouble here. FF 31.1.0esr.

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 :)

Mine's at least as good as yours. It's not.

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???

Be more subtle.
