Cursor Descend

!Play fullscreen on web to avoid control problems!

Are you a master of the mouse? Then you've come to the right place.

In Cursor Descend, you will guide a tiny needle-like cursor on a journey — starting from the mouth, descending deep through the body, and finally escaping through a mysterious exit. Precision is everything, and your only tool is the cursor.

This game was made for the Ludum Dare Jam #57. And this is my very first jam game!

I hope playing it is just as fun as it was to create!

Gameplay and controls:

Hold left mouse button to move. Hold spacebar to speed up. Scroll the mouse wheel to rotate your direction.

The camera scrolls downward automatically—you'll need to keep your cursor on the path.

At the end of your run, your final score is calculated based on:

The total distance traveled

How long you held the left mouse button during your final streak

And your “scroll wheel heat”

Update:

Update - Apr 12, 2025

🖱️ Mouse control got an upgrade! The cursor now stays locked inside the game window during gameplay.

🩸 Blood particles are back! They now show up properly in the Web version.
