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.

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!

SlackingOff123•about 1 hour ago

I can't get the 17th shell :(

SPOILER

did you get the treasure hunt badge?

SlackingOff123•about 1 hour ago

No, I don't think so.

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!

onehair•about 3 hours ago

clearly xD

LorenDB•about 3 hours ago

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

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".

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 :)

buremba•about 1 hour ago

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

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)

bhresko1•about 3 hours ago

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

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.

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.

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.

spking•about 2 hours ago

Touch virtual grass

nerdsniper•about 3 hours ago

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

firefly! iykyk

ondrek•about 2 hours ago

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•35 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•10 minutes ago

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

asadm•42 minutes ago

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