▲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.
reply▲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.

[-] I loved the impromptu dance party I had in this with a bunch of people just bouncing on the stage.
reply▲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!
reply▲Well, clearly you and I have made it out alive :)

[-] Does 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.
reply▲I 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!

[-] This is such a breath of fresh air. I feel like I'm back on Club Penguin!
reply▲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".
reply▲I'm really watching 12 Angry Men through a small window in a wonderfully cute browser game, I love it!

[-] Legit first post I've wanted to upvote in a long time.
reply▲So much fun! I ended up playing beach volleyball with a bunch of people from around the world! :D excellent!
reply▲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.
reply▲I absolutely love this. Kind of gives me Club Penguin vibes.

[-] I 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!
reply▲For the beach volleyball, aim to click only when the ball is in its downward trajectory.

[-] The art style here is really charming. Thanks for the whimsy today!
reply▲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.

[-] 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)

[-] You 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.
reply▲You can also put other clothes on, like sunglasses and shorts.
reply▲That was delightful, what more can I say?
reply▲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.
reply▲I wonder whats the multiplayer stack here. I haven't looked yet.
reply▲I love Neal's creations so much !
reply▲That was a lot of fun. Brought back some nostalgia :)
reply▲This reminds me of the old internet for some reason I can't really nail down, but maybe the club penguin-ess of it.
reply▲Cool, but wow - my iPhone heats up super fast while on that site.
reply▲I don't usually like my cursor to be hijacked but man, I like this one.
reply▲It even works on mobile, brilliant.
reply▲We have achieved world peace, fanks Neal :)

reply▲Any tips for getting the right-click menu to work with a touchpad?
I two-finger tap, but the menu immediately disappears.
Click + hold. Then move onto an option

[-] I can't get the 17th shell :(
reply▲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
reply▲SPOILER
the two that are hard to find are 1. by the river on the far left and 2. at the main spawn point
The last seashell is eluding me. Otherwise I got all the badges.
reply▲Near the title sign, on the center of the camp, is where I found the last one I missed

Check out the Space Elevator or Size of Life too.
Remember to have fun, people!
reply▲Weirdly i got slight motion sickness from this
reply▲Yeah same here - unexpected!
reply▲This is the reason I love Hckrnews.
reply▲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
reply▲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.
reply▲Yeah, whatever bug they have with this affected me two, was swinging my mouse across most of my desk to move any distance whatsoever.
reply▲I noticed this on Safari, but when I switched to Chrome it seemed fine.
reply▲except thats the whole point of this game. mouse movement needs to be controlled by the game here!
