This is so good! Using mouse motion as a control scheme is particularly genius - how did no one think of this before? I particularly like the points where the mouse control is taken away from you, i.e. when you float downstream, or when you go down a slide. It's also particularly genius how the mouse can 'teleport' around the screen (i.e. when you go into a door and come out somewhere else).

This idea could even be taken further - it would be really cool to have terrain that is more difficult to traverse. I'm also intrigued by the lack of walls. I think something like a hedge maze would be really fun!

by johnfn

4/30/2026 at 4:17:05 PM

I think the water is difficult to traverse, in that it slows you down when 'swimming'.

It's really interesting how it still feels grounded even though you can fly all around. Having the cursor disappear underneath bridges and behind buildings really helps the illusion.

by mNovak

4/30/2026 at 5:57:37 PM

There was an old game called cursors.io which was the same concept but collaboratively traversing a maze where you would sometimes have to leave other players behind to reach the next level

by pixelmelt

4/30/2026 at 2:30:01 PM

When you go all the way to the top near the horizon, the cursor shrinks and moves more slowly as it recedes into the distance.

Genius.

Is there anything to the weird book in the treehouse or is it just for flavor? It seems to be alluding to something but I can't figure it out.

by why_at

4/30/2026 at 2:48:42 AM

There's mention of the cave and a "convergence point". I tried looking all around the cave, but there doesn't seem to be anything there (although you can find the drawings on the walls)

Edit: I looked at the source though and I don't see anything else clickable in the cave... No hidden secret badge either, maybe it is just for ambiance.

by krackers

4/30/2026 at 12:11:15 PM

Turning the antenna in the treehouse gives different messages of about two minutes each. It’s a bit hard to listen to the whole thing without someone else interrupting by changing the antenna, so here are the audio files:

https://neal.fun/cursor-camp/sounds/harold-1.mp3

https://neal.fun/cursor-camp/sounds/harold-2.mp3

There’s talk of the tent near the beach, the gong, and gathering at the big fire once you hear the call. There’s also talk of the cave, the star map, trusting the bats, and reading the right side of the book carefully. Though it seems to me the audio may be outdated and that the star map was initially in the book and was since moved to the telescope.

The right side of the book mentions the time 8:47.

If we look at the star map, only two of them are pointing inwards. If we consider that a “convergence point”, it should be around the area of the big fire and tent.

That’s as far as I’ve got with this.

by latexr

4/30/2026 at 4:34:07 PM

Hmm this is interesting. I was playing on mute so I didn't notice the radio messages.

I was thinking the "convergence point" was the center of camp with the sign since that's where all the paths meet up and the book mentions something about that. The radio also says "I just put a sign on it".

>it seems to me the audio may be outdated and that the star map was initially in the book and was since moved to the telescope

He also mentions he wrote it in 1967 but the book says 1987

by why_at

4/30/2026 at 4:48:28 AM

There's also a locked door in one of the buildings, but I couldn't figure out what either mean if anything. It would be cool if the radio was used for something though

by notsylver

4/30/2026 at 5:29:11 AM

Yeah I saw that too, but the list of all accessible rooms is also in the code and the only scenes I see are

  tent
  cave
  treehouse
  house-main
  house-cafeteria
  house-bedroom
  house-trophey
  boat

It would be really cool if there were some secrets, but alas it appears not (unless it's obfuscated in the source as well)

by mmahd7456

4/30/2026 at 8:16:53 AM

Because then you’d need to decode the full message and might read something you didn’t mean to. This way you can decode just the individual ones you want.

The badge names aren’t secret, they’re available in the book in the house even before you unlock them.

by latexr

4/30/2026 at 2:45:28 PM

Could just include the badge names both unencoded and encoded to get the best of both worlds.

Firefox has years long outstanding bugs in regards to capturing cursor movements.

It basically makes Firefox completely unusable if you're relying on capturing cursors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest

> There is an urban myth that the release of Dragon Quest III caused a law to be passed in Japan banning the sale of Dragon Quest games or video games in general except on certain days such as weekends or national holidays. When III was released in Japan, over 300 schoolchildren were arrested for truancy while waiting in stores for the game to be released. The rumor claims there was a measurable dip in productivity when a Dragon Quest game was released and although muggings of Dragon Quest titles became so widespread that there were hearings in the Japanese Diet, no law was ever passed.

Club Penguin always held a special place in my heart but I never reflected on why. I'm sure part of it is a yearning for simpler times and a childhood unawareness of the nature of the world.

However, playing this reminded me of exploring hidden parts of a map imbued with love, the joys of finding other souls just lounging around or moving excitedly, and the cute little games and things strewn about every corner.

This way you can hit the ball harder and farther.

Press Ctrl+Shift+J to open the console and if you are on Mac command+option+J Then write the code: (function() { let power = 20; // Upward thrust force let clickMultipler = 15; // How many clicks does it launch per move

console.log("--- ASCENDING PROPELLER MODE ---"); console.log("Hover your mouse over the ball to launch it into space.");

document.addEventListener('mousemove', (e) => { // We calculate a point directly below the cursor.

// Clicking "below" the ball pushes it upwards. const fakeY = e.clientY + power;

for(let i = 0; i < clickMultipler; i++) { const ev = new MouseEvent('mousedown', { clientX: e.clientX, clientY: fakeY, bubbles: true, cancelable: true, view:window });

// We look for the object in its current position so that the impact //counts const target = document.elementFromPoint(e.clientX, e.clientY); if (target) { target.dispatchEvent(ev); } } }, true); })();

by tschwimmer

GeoIP services can sometimes be wrong, they are essentially just lookup tables for IP subnets. I have a VPS in the Netherlands which most GeoIP providers detect as being in Czechia, for example. I assume whichever one the site is using just has the wrong country listed for your IP.

When I was a teenager we had the Living Books edition of Arthur's Teacher Trouble on CD-ROM as part of a "multimedia kit". Every page had short animations that would play by clicking on random things with your cursor, in addition to following along with the story, clicking on single words to hear them pronounced and spelled, etc. It was incredible and paved the way for similar phenomena like clickable Easter eggs in Homestar Runner cartoons.

This reminded me of that.

the law unambiguously says that, yes. However, companies these days seem to respond to enforcement, not the text of the law. They are all using the same few cookie banner libraries/providers, so that they have herd protection (if the eu wants to crack down on it, it has to do it to hundreds/thousands of companies simultaneously). It seems neal chose that route also.

For the beach volleyball, aim to click only when the ball is in its downward trajectory.

One is kinda half hidden behind a tree on the far right and another one is next to the starting sign. The rest are on the beach area and very slightly off the beach area

please don't re-implement mouse movement, this would work perfectly fine without and now it just feels really bad to use because my sensitivity is fucked

by forsakenharmony

4/29/2026 at 8:38:47 PM

My mouse is set to 400 DPI, acceleration off (libinput flat profile), and default (0) sensitivity (range -1.0 - 1.0, no change at 1.0). Had similar settings on Windows, games have crazy high default sensitivity but websites like this have extremely low sensitivity. I had to crank my DPI up to 2000 to make it usable and 4000 to be comfortable and roughly match desktop settings, but this also made the cursor extremely unwieldy when pausing the game. This and volume control are my biggest gripes.

by sgtlaggy

4/29/2026 at 11:10:51 PM

The soul of this game requires that your cursor can go "behind" things (like trees, or partially submerged in water), can have subtle nudges to keep you on paths and add friction when in water, and also to be able to take full control of your cursor for the lazy river etc!

by dag11

4/29/2026 at 8:19:40 PM

Yeah, whatever bug they have with this affected me two, was swinging my mouse across most of my desk to move any distance whatsoever.
