Well, that was a neat surprise of a game. Had fun and could spend a while playing it.
Good job!

Nice idea! Definitely gives me flappy bird vibes. I also like the idea for the ability to become slimmer with the spacebar to fit through tight spaces but there also wasn't a limit on that so I just held it forever haha. Would have appreciated an infinite shoot option as my finger started getting tired from constantly clicking.
Also good job with the procedural generation on the cave systems! Its always cool to have games that are different when you open them up again.
Really an original idea! The gameplay/controls were a little rough for me personally, but actually gave me some flappy bird vibes and made me want to get better at it! Nice solo entry!
the music is relly cool I like it , good idea , good graphique , Actually, I like your game !!!!
Nice and simple game! Good background music too! The game is so easy to learn but difficult to master. Well done!
Unfortunately, I felt the level moved a little too fast and I started to get a little dizzy after a few runs. From scrolling through the comments it does not look like others experienced this though.
As somebody else already said, the click sound is great. I liked the ability to "squeeze" the cursor to fit through tighter spaces.
The enemies were challenging to see sometimes as they spawned and floated over the platforms to get at me. I feel like you could also reduce the angle of attack so there's more opportunity for players to hit them before they're able to approach you. Since they fly in at a high angle, it's difficult to get a bead on them since the space is narrow to navigate.
Overall really like this submission and think it's an impressive solo entry!
Thank you for playing and for your feedback!! It's hard to find that balance of enemy difficulty isn't it!!
I'll look at adjusting the space between the spawn points on the second level as you said it means you have to be right up the back to shoot them around the middle of the play space making it pretty intense hahaha
Thank you again for your kind words!!
Fun game with great music and sound effects - there's something magic about that click sound.
I had a great time, tried to click/attack to the rythm of the music for fun :D Good job!
I had so much fun playing this even without reading about the space squeeze. Love the sountrack! Very simple game but so much fun! Congrats!
Ha this was so fun! I love the sound track. It was a really addicting game loop!
So fun to play as a cursor in an evil world, I would love to learn more about this universe. The click sfx is a good example of how this game feel : nice and polished :p
fun game! I found myself playing multiple rounds to see how many runs I could get thru (the highest was two ) one idea for feedback would be to add a setting to adjust mouse sensitivity in-game instead of matching the person's regular mouse to help fine-tune the movement.
This was really fun! The gemeplay felt really good, and I loved the music and overall aesthetic. The click sound was quite hilarious since it matches my physical mouse sound, so it was like a small echo each time I clicked.
Only one small nitpick for squeezing the cursor: It is possible to just hold space the whole time. Maybe there could be a kind of stamina bar that is used up by holding space, so one has to be careful when to use this feature.
Nice entry. Fun game. So much more than just a flappy birds clone. I had no idea cursors could have so much character.
Those collision areas are tight! I never felt cheated. Every loss was my own.
I played again after reading about the space key. Much easier.
Very original entry!
Fun and short. I liked the choice with the music!
The intro where the mouse falls off was a nice touch, it felt weird in a good, cursed way.
I think it would benefit from a full screen setting (you can still add it via itch's "edit game" feature, there's a checkbox with "add fullscreen button" or something like that) though if that's by design it's cool too. I accidentally died via moving outside the game frame a few times, but I guess that's on me lol.
I also found it funny how the deal with the devil consisted of him letting you leave the game.
Pleasant entry overall, as others have said, it was well scoped!
Hey thanks for playing and commenting!! I'll look into that fullscreen checkbox for sure, yeah I would often do the same quickly moving my mouse into a wall as the game starts hahaha I'll look at potentially locking the mouse for a few seconds so the player can get their bearings.
Hahah thought it was a bit cheeky, thank you again!!
