- bko 5mo agoI like that this is on the front page and there are no comments. I imagine because everyone is busy exploring and didn't yet go back to the comments to see what people think. Good sign!
- LorenDB 5mo agoWell, clearly you and I have made it out alive :)
- SamBam 5mo agoI only managed to get out once I had earned all 9 badges...
- swyx 5mo agoah so you havent discovered the secret 10th badge yet, have you
- ebipaul5194 5mo agoWhere I can see the badges
- krackers 5mo agothe book on the coffee table inside the house
- onehair 5mo agoclearly xD
- p0w3n3d 5mo agoyup
- huseyinkeles 5mo agoReally love all his work! Check out the Space Elevator or Size of Life too.
- jbombadil 5mo agoI think there's a case for a corporate class action lawsuit against Neal for employee productivity loss every time every time a new game is published.
- 0x3444ac53 5mo agoLmao it's blocked on my corporate wifi
- echelon 5mo agoThat's a crime. Your HR/IT are certifiably not fun.
- swyx 5mo agodont make them the scapegoats. who was it that said "behind every rule on that wall is an idiot who made it necessary"
- only-one1701 5mo agoFound the manager
- andrew_lettuce 5mo agoNever Let common sense and trust do the job when another policy in the employee handbook can do the job!
- mghackerlady 5mo agosame :(
- latexr 5mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest 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.
- bhresko1 5mo agoI absolutely love this. Kind of gives me Club Penguin vibes.
- jborichevskiy 5mo agoI got taken back to Club Penguin as well. Especially clicking into the cave or treehouse and getting transported into a little side pocket of the map. Amazing work!
- dtmooreiv 5mo ago100%, briefly playing this brought me right back to that for a second. I'm glad others felt that same vibe.
- deleted 5mo ago[deleted]
- sprinkly-dust 5mo agoClub 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.
- xnx 5mo agoAny tips for getting the right-click menu to work with a touchpad? I two-finger tap, but the menu immediately disappears.
- madebysnacks 5mo agoSo engaging! Made me smile the entire time
- KerrickStaley 5mo agoI love this! It reminds me of https://cursordanceparty.com/ https://cursordanceparty.com/ which was built by a friend about 15 years ago and is still online :)
- nerdsniper 5mo agoThe last seashell is eluding me. Otherwise I got all the badges.
- lbebber 5mo agoNear the title sign, on the center of the camp, is where I found the last one I missed
- fatthor123 5mo ago[flagged]
- andrethegiant 5mo agoAbsolutely incredible. Well done Neal
- biosubterranean 5mo agoThis is great
- topherjaynes 5mo agoWell, lads, 10 laps, been a day, going to sleep.
- darshanmakwana 5mo agoThis is awesome! Where can I find the music from the DJ booth? I can listen to that all day
- BrunoBernardino 5mo agoRemember to have fun, people!
- neurowave 5mo agoNice use of Rive!
- hmokiguess 5mo agoSorry, what's Rive?
- neurowave 5mo agoInteractive engine for building apps, games, products with lots of motion https://rive.app https://rive.app
- hmokiguess 5mo agoThanks! Didn’t know about it, looks fun
- thatguymike 5mo agoWell this is incredibly joyful, well done.
- ondrek 5mo agoThis is the reason I love Hckrnews.
- ceroxylon 5mo agoWhen I see the domain of a post is neal.fun, I instantly get a huge grin because I know I am about to be delighted. Thank you Neal! The beach yurt with the mushroom soup was a hilarious touch.
- subpar 5mo agofirefly! iykyk
- danielrmay 5mo agoBrilliant. If you needed proof the internet is still alive, here you go. I feel like Neal's creations are the result of creatively iterating on "what if" and "why not".
- kami23 5mo agoThis reminds me of the old internet for some reason I can't really nail down, but maybe the club penguin-ess of it.
- greengreengrass 5mo agoCame to say the say thing. Strong Club Penguin feeling as soon as I saw that “off duty” sign on the lifeguard tower
- nkmnz 5mo agoThis was fun!
- spking 5mo agoTouch virtual grass
- forsakenharmony 5mo agoplease 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
- Macha 5mo agoYeah, whatever bug they have with this affected me two, was swinging my mouse across most of my desk to move any distance whatsoever.
- fatthor123 5mo ago[flagged]
- duderific 5mo agoI noticed this on Safari, but when I switched to Chrome it seemed fine.
- asadm 5mo agoexcept thats the whole point of this game. mouse movement needs to be controlled by the game here!
- sgtlaggy 5mo agoMy 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.
- deleted 5mo ago[deleted]
- dag11 5mo agoThe 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!
- throw5 5mo agoI really had fun with this one. You know what would make it even cosier? Being able to choose a small avatar for ourselves. The mouse pointer as your icon feels a very impersonal at the moment. Having avatars would make it feel more like we're all hanging out together in this wonderland.
- stronglikedan 5mo agoIt's not what you asked for, but right click to choose an enhanced icon. (EDIT: Oops that appears to just be a temporary emoticon)
- devilbunny 5mo agoYou can put the hat on. It's in the main camp building in a bedroom. Your cursor will be wearing a hat from then on.
- ZeWaka 5mo agoYou can also put other clothes on, like sunglasses and shorts.
- devilbunny 5mo agoCan you don multiple items? Didn't try.
- krackers 5mo agoYeah you can. You buy them with seashells.
- hmokiguess 5mo agoawww man that was fun!
- tikimcfee 5mo agoI had fun on the internet again. Thank you internet people <3
- chrisshroba 5mo agoThis is such a breath of fresh air. I feel like I'm back on Club Penguin!
- fatthor123 5mo ago[flagged]
- deviantony 5mo agoI love Neal's creations so much !
- buremba 5mo agoI don't usually like my cursor to be hijacked but man, I like this one.
- SlackingOff123 5mo agoI can't get the 17th shell :(
- fatthor123 5mo ago[flagged]
- SlackingOff123 5mo agoNo, I don't think so.
- alstonite 5mo agoSPOILER the two that are hard to find are 1. by the river on the far left and 2. at the main spawn point
- bl4ckneon 5mo agoOne 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
- fatthor123 5mo ago[flagged]
- frankfrank13 5mo agobrother how many times are you gonna comment that
- fatthor123 5mo ago[flagged]
- botzi2001 5mo agoI think this you need to take the metal detector from the beach and search in the area
- ebbi 5mo agoSo much fun! I ended up playing beach volleyball with a bunch of people from around the world! :D excellent!
- fatthor123 5mo ago[flagged]
- dylkil 5mo agoWeirdly i got slight motion sickness from this
- fatthor123 5mo ago[flagged]
- mattlondon 5mo agoYeah same here - unexpected!
- TheGRS 5mo agoWell this is one of the most adorable things I've seen in a while. Thank you for sharing a little joy. So many little details I love, falling off the waterfall, the cursor size fading into the background, the flashlight in the cave. Haven't explored it all but going to share this right away.
- fatthor123 5mo ago[flagged]
- wg0 5mo agoI thought its the 60 billion dollars one.
- tiffanyh 5mo agoCool, but wow - my iPhone heats up super fast while on that site.
- hadrien01 5mo agoI'm really watching 12 Angry Men through a small window in a wonderfully cute browser game, I love it!
- asadm 5mo agoI wonder whats the multiplayer stack here. I haven't looked yet.
- structuredPizza 5mo agoWe have achieved world peace, fanks Neal :)
- antdke 5mo agoThat was a lot of fun. Brought back some nostalgia :)
- melonpan7 5mo agoIt even works on mobile, brilliant.
- GrifMD 5mo agoThat was delightful, what more can I say?
- latexr 5mo agoFor the beach volleyball, aim to click only when the ball is in its downward trajectory.
- WillieCubed 5mo agoThe art style here is really charming. Thanks for the whimsy today!
- lanewinfield 5mo agoReally putting the "fun" in "Neal.fun." Yet another amazing work by Neal Agarwal.
- Nautman 5mo agoI think it's incredible that you can feel a human connection with someone on the other side of the world purely by moving your cursors together. Just had a "game" of soccer with random people. Well done, Neal!
- 0xferruccio 5mo agoIncredibly well done by Neal as usual!! Always has new fun experiments that are always completely new concepts
- parentheses 5mo agoLegit first post I've wanted to upvote in a long time.
- tschwimmer 5mo agoDoes anyone know how he is implementing country detection? I'm certain it's not GeoIP since my current IP address (and physical location) is different than the country it's showing me from.
- ivanjermakov 5mo agoIP location, browser's locale, or combination of both: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/Locale https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...
- flexagoon 5mo agoGeoIP 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.
- jp0d 5mo agoIt's the same for me. I'm in Australia and on my work laptop I'm connected to an American VPN. It's showing my location as USA. I was wondering how it's detecting the country.
- tokioyoyo 5mo agoReminded me of Club Penguin days.
- bovermyer 5mo agoI loved the impromptu dance party I had in this with a bunch of people just bouncing on the stage.

- why_at 5mo agoIs 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.
- krackers 5mo agoThere'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.
- notsylver 5mo agoThere'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
- krackers 5mo agoYeah I saw that too, but the list of all accessible rooms is also in the code and the only scenes I see are default sauna tent cave treehouse house-main house-cafeteria house-bedroom house-trophey boat telescope It would be really cool if there were some secrets, but alas it appears not (unless it's obfuscated in the source as well)
- bitwize 5mo agoWhen 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.
- DonHopkins 5mo agoLike Rodney's Wonder Window, the Probe and Poke Pet Shop, with the dog who poops when you click on him enough! https://youtu.be/z5GMk8dgaD0?t=1498 https://youtu.be/z5GMk8dgaD0?t=1498 Rodney Alan Greenblat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Alan_Greenblat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Alan_Greenblat Rodney is the same artist who did the delightful hybrid 2d/3d graphics designs for Parappa the Rapper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMUX6b82Zbc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMUX6b82Zbc
- accCer 5mo agoIt was fun rick rolling you all on the piano. Vibe coded a little script that would play all kinds of melodies including rick roll. I eventually attracted a whole audience of cursors emoji reacting to it.
- johnfn 5mo agoThis 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!
- munificent 5mo agoWhen 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.
- deleted 5mo ago[deleted]
- DrSiemer 5mo agoA random experiment I made a few weeks ago does something similar, but it only uses the real cursor position for now: https://2shine.nl/demo/mousemaze/ https://2shine.nl/demo/mousemaze/
- mNovak 5mo agoI 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.
- pixelmelt 5mo agoThere 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
- aeonfox 5mo ago> Using mouse motion as a control scheme is particularly genius - how did no one think of this before? Point-and-click adventure games and the golden age of Macromedia Flash might be before your time? This really reminds me of novelty sites built in Flash which was all point and click and vector animation. A lot of those sites are lost to time, or perhaps hidden in some deep crevice of the web archive. > I particularly like the points where the mouse control is taken away from you One thing Flash couldn't do. But it had plenty of RCE exploits, so maybe it could.
- only-one1701 5mo agoHe's done it again folks
- deweywsu 5mo agoSO much better than the metaverse, at 1/1000000th the cost!
- arikrahman 5mo agoI'm happily disappointed this has nothing to do with a certain electron based code editor fork.
- modinfo 5mo agoI did something similar https://github.com/skorotkiewicz/proximity-explorer https://github.com/skorotkiewicz/proximity-explorer

- null_ptr1 5mo agoOk, that's super cute. Dance on the dance floor!
- dartharva 5mo agoGenuinely amazing!
- knight_47 5mo agoThis is so neat!
- peyo25 5mo agoFun! Thanks!
- qainsights 5mo agoI thought cursor.com camp :)
- dakolli 5mo agoNO AI !
- nickvec 5mo agoThe depth of this project is amazing. So many details that you can click into!
- dadima 5mo agonice fun game
- eranation 5mo agoJust spent 20 minutes of my life, I don't want them back, was worth every second.
- rohitpaulk 5mo agoNice one. Pleasantly surprised that this has nothing to do with Cursor the IDE
- lacoolj 5mo agoLol Zed > Cursor but this Cursor > Zed
- mindwork 5mo agoneal.fun is the bestest place on the internet
- lacoolj 5mo agoBug report. If i click a book on the phone my pseudo cursor goes away! :(
- kang 5mo agoI saw this experiment decades ago on the internet and it was to a music concert, i always wanted to do a cursor moshpit
- quantummagic 5mo agoWith Firefox, moving the cursor is really unresponsive and difficult, at least with my touch-pad. Taking many swipes to move even a little bit in each direction. It's a much more enjoyable experience with Chrome.
- rendaw 5mo agoMe too, mouse.
- testfrequency 5mo agoThis is why I could never commit to a Gecko based browser. There’s just too many daily sites I don’t have the patience to debug if it’s me or them.
- deleted 5mo ago[deleted]
- TonyStr 5mo agoHaha, this is hardly a daily site, is it? I can't remember the last time I experienced a firefox-specific browser issue before this. 95%+ of my issues usually come from ublock
- testfrequency 5mo agoNo doubt, OP’s site is niche (and very cool!), but between weird graphical rendering I’ve experienced in the past with Firefox and WebGL, among a number of just flat out broken forms - I just gave up. I want Gecko to succeed as Chromium being a bully in the web space has been unfortunate, though I’m even more rooting for Ladybird.
- maccard 5mo agoI've used Firefox as a daily driver for 20 years now (that's terrifying to say). I have to switch to another browser about once a month (although at a previous job I had to use $INTERNAL_WEBSITE in edge permanently). I have 0 issues with daily sites
- nzeid 5mo agoI'm a huge neal.fun fan but I still worried that this was some scammy LLM coding YouTube clickbait. Love the joystick for mobile users.
- benjian 5mo agocoolest website i've seen in a while! absolutely loving this!
- Jordan-117 5mo agoWeirdly, this seems to kill my wifi connection after a minute or so (Firefox on Linux).
- zhainya 5mo agoThis probably would have been fun if it worked.
- latexr 5mo agoClearly it is working for many people. Perhaps if you share your setup and what exactly is the issue you’re facing, someone may have a suggestion. “It doesn’t work” is just about the worse “bug report” one can make.
- ygyooo 5mo agoThat is so interesting!
- soupspaces 5mo ago[dead]
- rollyboo 5mo agoA really enjoyable journey ;) Felt like a kid again, cheers!
- lucy_hnatchuk 5mo agogenuinely had a blast,felt like being a kid on a playground again.
- RugnirViking 5mo agopretty hard to click through the cookie consent form because the browser hijacks the mouse and doesnt let it move to the right place. ended up using tab to click through it.
- pred_ 5mo agoAnd the cookie consent form is one of those that require you to click a gazillion toggles. Hasn't it been established now that opt-out must be no harder than opt-in?
- RugnirViking 5mo agothe 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.
- leadgenman 5mo ago[dead]
- idk1 5mo agoWell, that was absolutely delightful. What a tonic.
- deleted 5mo ago[deleted]
- ultratalk 5mo agoStrangely enough, when I enter the "convergence point" book, my cursor gets an American flag, even though it wasn't American before. Has anyone else seen this?
- janmagnusdev 5mo agoAnyone else having performance problems?
- asimovDev 5mo agoI love the cave paintings of cursor cavepeople
- npw55036 5mo agoThat's awesome! It seems like all the rooms are accessible, but the football area is a bit laggy; the interaction feels like there's a lot of delay.
- ggambetta 5mo agoThis is so well made! In the car racing track there's an overpass, and the cursor correctly Z-orders depending on whether you're coming from the upper or lower part of the track. Respect.
- ebipaul5194 5mo agoNice game this is my first if able to add name that will be grate
- victorbjorklund 5mo agoReally cool. Sucks that they have to have the cookie banners though. I feel like this could have been done without user tracking in that way.
- pcthrowaway 5mo agoThe most unrealistic thing is that the cat doesn't chase the mice around.
- matsbjork 5mo agoBest cursor camp ive seen!
- 0x0ffff 5mo agoThat's brilliant, at first I thought it was about with Neal Wu's site. but nah actually it turns out that it's just a cursor game!
- ChicagoBoy11 5mo agoThis is utterly delightful. Thank you.
- amenghra 5mo agoReminds me of the era of flash games/applets. People were building lots of cute, interactive stories back then.
- lovegrenoble 5mo agoThank you for productivity loss, Neal!
- onemoresoop 5mo agoFun intrusion. Works pretty good on my phone though it’s got really hot.
- otar 5mo agoVery cute and funny! Thank you!
- 8bitbeep 5mo agoVery cool, but I think the user's cursor should be a different shape/color from the others. I frequently tried to move a neighboring cursor by mistake.
- bob_backwards 5mo agoArm-less nun, somehow pushing a wheelchair, holding a rabbi, carrying a military baby, eating spaghetti.
- Ancalagon 5mo agoI couldn't find the last sea shell :(
- sph 5mo agoAnother certified neal.fun banger
- RandomXD 5mo agoThis 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); })();
- RobOsTheGreat 5mo agoHello there! I'm new to this Cursor Camp! How is everything going? What did I miss?
- CatMustard 5mo agoHad a lot of fun on the right side of the map lol. Anyone else find the left side of the map causes the framerate to drop down to 15ish for some reason? Very odd, completely smooth otherwise. Firefox Android browser.
