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.

'Cheat' to get you past thin red pathways: line yourself up with the pathway, and jam yourself against the wall opposing the path. Take your cursor outside the game box, then bring it in from the opposite side. Your cursor will snap across to the wall opposite where it currently is. My hand is a bit too wobbly for those paths, so I had to 'think outside the box' to get past them...

or command option F5

OK can someone describe what on earth this is. I've tried twice - once I ended up in a maze with a load of other mouse cursors and no indication of what to do (I spent a couple of minutes moving around towards some coloured squares but ultimately nothing happened). The other time I was in a white screen that said "press shift and click to draw" but doing so did nothing :-/

The band Kilo had a "crowdsourced music video" based on the same concept: http://donottouch.org/

That was also one of my inspirations! (That and cursors*10)

Do you know 5xman. It's a lot of fun. It's a flash game you can play in armor games and kongregate (I don't know for how long this link will be valid, but anyway: http://armorgames.com/play/6819/5xman)

So, I just completed the "curiosity killed the mouse" level, took 3 people a while to realise what was going on, but after a few minutes we got to the non-obvious solution, and I got sent back to the first level. I feel a bit screwed over now... =|

Get to the green square. You're the cursor with the yellow halo around it. Figuring out the rest of the problems is part of the fun :)

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.

Played yesterday and there were a lot of people with the same mindset as I had: help a couple of others, then be helped and get out. Awesome experience.

Played again today and it was messier and there seemed to be more selfish ones (sometimes can be very obvious in levels with only a couple of cursors). People just entering a level and waiting at the gates. Really had to push them to come switch places. Sometimes got stuck more than 5 minutes in a level (which led to funny chatting with others though)

tldr; just like in real life.

sidenote: I don't know much about web programming, but when are the bots coming to this one? E.g. for entering text easily?

Guess I've having issues then, I made it to the square when I tried before and now I'm getting a blank screen and a message about losing connection. Oh well.

Don't worry, it always comes right before the last level, so you didn't lose much.
