Cursors

About Cursors

Cursors.io is one of the most unique io-games ever made. Every player is just a mouse cursor, and the goal is to cooperate (or compete) through a series of numbered rooms full of buttons, doors, and timing puzzles.

How to play

• Move the mouse to move your cursor.
• Click to press buttons.
• That's it. The genius is in what you do with those two inputs.

Tips

• Read the room before clicking. Some buttons trigger traps.
• Some puzzles need many cursors holding buttons at once. Be patient.
• Trolls exist. Don't take it personally — just wait for the next room.

Why it's a classic

• Pure cooperation in a genre dominated by PvP.
• Minimal aesthetic that lets the design carry the game.
• Surprisingly emotional moments when strangers solve a puzzle together.
