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.

Lmao it's blocked on my corporate wifi

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

dont make them the scapegoats. who was it that said "behind every rule on that wall is an idiot who made it necessary"

bko•about 4 hours ago

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!

LorenDB•about 3 hours ago

Well, clearly you and I have made it out alive :)

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

tikimcfee•about 1 hour ago

I had fun on the internet again. Thank you internet people <3

chrisshroba•about 1 hour ago

This is such a breath of fresh air. I feel like I'm back on Club Penguin!

fatthor123•about 1 hour ago

did you finish the treasure hunt badge?

danielrmay•about 2 hours ago

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".

ebbi•about 1 hour ago

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

Find treasure hunting equipment on the beach...

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...

KerrickStaley•about 3 hours ago

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

TheGRS•about 1 hour ago

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.

fatthor123•about 1 hour ago

isn't it? did you finish the treasure hunt badge?

bhresko1•about 3 hours ago

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

melonpan7•20 minutes ago

It even works on mobile, brilliant.

antdke•28 minutes ago

That was a lot of fun. Brought back some nostalgia :)

throw5•about 2 hours ago

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•about 2 hours 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)

asadm•43 minutes ago

I wonder whats the multiplayer stack here. I haven't looked yet.

topherjaynes•about 3 hours ago

Well, lads, 10 laps, been a day, going to sleep.

Cool, but wow - my iPhone heats up super fast while on that site.

deviantony•about 1 hour ago

I love Neal's creations so much !

ceroxylon•about 2 hours ago

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.

buremba•about 1 hour ago

I don't usually like my cursor to be hijacked but man, I like this one.

wg0•about 1 hour ago

I thought its the 60 billion dollars one.

kami23•about 2 hours 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.

thatguymike•about 2 hours ago

Well this is incredibly joyful, well done.

SlackingOff123•about 1 hour ago

I can't get the 17th shell :(

SPOILER

the two that are hard to find are 1. by the river on the far left and 2. at the main spawn point

fatthor123•about 1 hour ago

SlackingOff123•about 1 hour ago

No, I don't think so.

darshanmakwana•about 3 hours ago

This is awesome! Where can I find the music from the DJ booth? I can listen to that all day

xnx•about 3 hours ago

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•about 3 hours ago

Click + hold. Then move onto an option

xnx•about 3 hours ago

Argh. No luck.

nerdsniper•about 3 hours ago

The last seashell is eluding me. Otherwise I got all the badges.

lbebber•about 1 hour ago

Near the title sign, on the center of the camp, is where I found the last one I missed

You need to stop spamming this message. This isn't Reddit.

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

This is the reason I love Hckrnews.

forsakenharmony•about 2 hours ago

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•39 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•about 1 hour 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.

duderific•14 minutes ago

I noticed this on Safari, but when I switched to Chrome it seemed fine.

asadm•about 1 hour ago

except thats the whole point of this game. mouse movement needs to be controlled by the game here!
