With it's black-and-white aesthetic and isometric view, odd flash game Cursor*10 couldn't be any simpler. But behind the simplicity is a really clever game mechanic and an oddly addicting experience. Ten cursors race through a maze, but as you (the one controlling these cursors) will soon discover they're going to have to work together if they're going to reach the top.
As you layer the progress of your cursors, the beauty of the game reveals itself. Is there a quicker way to beat the game? Can you do it with more points? We're still trying to find the best way to beat it an our later, which isn't bad for a line-drawn Flash game. What's your best score?

I forgot what score I got, but I've managed to beat the game with 7 of the 10 cursors...

dang, I don't remember my score or how many cursors it took me to beat it... but man I haven't played this flash game since like the beginning of the year... a good 15 mins of fun!

Beat it with 6 cursors... but my score sucked - only 100. I think your score is based on the number of timer clicks left... not really a reflection on how few cursors you use. Still, a very cool idea, that absolutely MUST be worked into the SOURCE engine.

you get more points by clicking the triangles.

Yeah I remember the whole Newgrounds fiasco around this game.

I played this back when it came out on newgrounds. Every once and a while a good game like this pops up over there.

188, which I think is the most I was able to get the last time I played.

This game is way better if someone doesn't spoil the central mechanic beforehand

188 is the highest score you can get on this thing. I counted. The fewest cursors you can use to beat the game (not worrying about score) is 5, which I did just a little bit ago.

Wow. What a great friggin' game!
