    I 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.

        That's a crime. Your HR/IT are certifiably not fun.

    I'm really watching 12 Angry Men through a small window in a wonderfully cute browser game, I love it!

    I 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!

    Brilliant. 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".

    So much fun! I ended up playing beach volleyball with a bunch of people from around the world! :D excellent!

        Unfortunately it's the start of my work day so I had to force myself to close the tab! Will give it another go after work...

    I love this! It reminds me of https://cursordanceparty.com/ which was built by a friend about 15 years ago and is still online :)

    Well 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.

    I absolutely love this. Kind of gives me Club Penguin vibes.

    I 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 1 hour ago
      It's not what you asked for, but right click to choose an enhanced icon. (EDIT: Oops that appears to just be a temporary emoticon)

    When 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.

    I don't usually like my cursor to be hijacked but man, I like this one.
  • kami23 1 hour ago
    This reminds me of the old internet for some reason I can't really nail down, but maybe the club penguin-ess of it.

    Any tips for getting the right-click menu to work with a touchpad?

    I two-finger tap, but the menu immediately disappears.

    • 52-6F-62 2 hours ago
      Click + hold. Then move onto an option

          Grab a metal detector to the left of the volleyball court. Then hold it near the bottom left edge of the court

      I think this you need to take the metal detector from the beach and search in the 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
    • sgtlaggy 19 minutes ago
      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.
    • Macha 38 minutes ago
      Yeah, whatever bug they have with this affected me two, was swinging my mouse across most of my desk to move any distance whatsoever.
    • asadm 26 minutes ago
      except thats the whole point of this game. mouse movement needs to be controlled by the game here!
